Butcher Billy – Black Mirror

Butcher Billy returns with a cosmic punch in this exclusive series of comic-book style posters for the genre-defying anthology.

A longtime collaborator with the boundary-pushing series, Billy was granted early access to the episodes, allowing him to distil their essence through his signature retro-pop lens.

McKinley’s work is infused with his love of old comic and storybook art from his youth.
