If you have ever wondered what a mash-up of Mao Tse Tung and Darkseid or Charles Manson and The Joker would look like then you may have a mental problem. You also would have something in common with graphic designer Butcher Billy who actually created a bunch of amalgamations between real life villains and some of comic’s biggest baddies.
