These are comic book mash-ups by artist Rusty Shackles, his style of mashing either famous pop culture figures into a comic book cover format making his work stand out because of the finely detailed classic comic book look to the subject of the comic book cover mash-ups which are pretty dope so if you love comic book covers/pop culture figures/video game characters/rappers like Wu-Tang then you will love Rusty Shackles works like we do at Diabolical Rabbit.
