Jeff Owens is not only talented, but his celebrity superhero mash-up illustrations often induce laughter while impressing the eyes. By taking comic book heroes and casting them as Hollywood icons and vice versa, Owens produces visually inventive drawings that are also incredibly fun for spectators to look at.
These illustrations feature a style synonymous with retro comic book art and popularized by the great Roy Lichtenstein. Owens also took the care to emulate faded paper for an even more authentic golden age feel.
My favorite of these pop icon comic hero fusion illustrations by Jeff Owens is a toss up between Spiderman as Groucho Marx and Lassie as Captain America. Why would anyone with a mask on need to wear another disguise? Why not!
