Nelson Mandela was buried today, in his ancestral village Qunu. I reprint the following comic in his honor.
For those who doubt that comics can be inspirational art, I defy you not to get chills and/or cry at the end. I first saw this on Tumblr and could not get it out of my mind. It easily eclipses all the TV-talking-heads trying to capture his spirit in mere words.
Invictus is by Australian artist Gavin Aung Than, at his amazing website, Zenpencils.com.
He's got a million of em, and I also greatly enjoyed his tribute to Roger Ebert. Great talent and great work!
Rest in peace, Nelson Mandela.
