Here’s a fun comics project from a real unsung talent. London-based comics fan and longtime frequenter of comics events Martin Hand has started a project on his livejournal to draw some of his favourite Marvel Comics characters, including the Absorbing Man, right. Each drawing is accompanied by some “fun facts” about the character.
So far he’s completed entries for the Abomination, Absorbing Man, Angel and Arnim Zola, Bio-fanatic and Martin hopes to update his unofficial HANDbook with a new entry at least once a week
