Brazilian Illustrator Butcher Billy has followed his recent Post-Punk Paperbacks series inspired by Archie Comics with Volume 2 of his Tales from The Smith poster series, which sees Cure frontman Robert Smith gracing the cover of classic horror films in the guise of the killers.
The posters pay homage to Jaws, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Childsplay, The Lost Boys, Night of the Living Dead, Beetlejuice, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Reanimator, and Black Sunday.
Billy, not only has been the graphic art and comic ambassador of post-punk, but also caught the attention of Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker, resulting in his illustrations ´being included part of the plot of several episodes of the Netflix series.
