Pop Culture Icons From the Past Re-imagined as Superheroes [Pics]

Curitiba, Brazil-based artist Butcher Billy just sent me these fantastic illustration from various pop culture icons from the past whom he re-imagined as superheroes.

As a child of the 80’s I was heavily influenced by everything from saturday morning cartoons on TV to the music coming from the radio. Ian Curtis or Johnny Rotten are as iconic to me as Superman or Batman. Real people or imaginary characters, the incorruptible ideals of perfect superheroes or the human flaws and desires sometimes so desperately depicted in song lyrics – all of those influences affect us to the point of defining our character and personality, career paths and life choices.
