Simplistic Digitized Super Heroes

These Super Hero Illustrations Go Back to Basics

Super hero fans will thoroughly enjoy these 8-bit syle super heroes created by Turkish artist Ercan Akkaya.

These old school video game style super heroes include all of the big names from Marvel and DC Comics. From Superman and Batman to Thor and Iron Man, Akkaya transforms these heroes into amusing little 8-bit characters.

The idea behind this project was to go back to basics with all of our favorite super heroes. There have been so many box office hits about super heroes over the past few years that illustrator Ercan Akkaya decided it was time to strip down these crime fighters.

These cute 8-bit hero illustrations shine an old school light on the comic world's most famous super hero figures.
