You might guess the artist, but the title might be tougher.

We saw Marvel's take on Celtic mythology back in Avengers, but this might be closer to the source material: from 2018, the Brave and the Bold: Batman and Wonder Woman #5, "Chapter Five: The Return of the Kings" Story and art by Liam Sharp.
Huh, I didn't think this was from that long ago. I think I have maybe one more issue of this, a six-issue limited, with Batman and Wonder Woman on the case of a murder--within the Celtic pantheon, in the mythical land of Tir Na Nog! Batman has realized something about the victim--he may not have been a local!--but perhaps too late to stop an attempted breakout to earth, that Balor of the Evil Eye and his forces are also interested in.
...I feel like Batman should be able to find that suspect for questioning.

I like how in that last panel, Gotham’s so much like New York, that no one notices the tall, blonde & bearded dude with the midriff casually carrying a machete. Only in America 🤦‍♂️

That remind me, anyone else remember the The Land of the Tir Na Nog kids show on FOX in the late 90’s? It didn’t last long at all but I do remember it happening.

Yeah, I think it was one of those Power Rangers ripoffs everyone was doing around then.

I would say Liam Sharp got it more accurate because he started at 2000 AD and Slaine uses a lot of Celtic mythology, but he never did any Slaine art. Who knows though- maybe he did some test pages but it wasn’t the right fit.
