From his <a href="https://www.behance.net/gallery/46262739/Butcher-Billys-Dark-Tales-From-The-Black-Mirror?l=36">Behance page</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>What if, in an alternate universe, the cult tv show Black Mirror had been inspired by a series of old school comic books from the 70’s? Horror, suspense, crime, romance… anything goes.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>He posted these covers to his <a href="https://butcherbilly.tumblr.com/archive/2016/12">Tumblr</a>. “Once series creator Charlie Brooker discovered the images through Twitter, Billy was eventually hired to do artwork featured in the episodes themselves.” — <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butcher_Billy#Tales_from_the_Black_Mirror">Wikipedia</a></p>

<p>The lettering appears to be drawn by hand, but at least some of it is based on typefaces. The “Black Mirror” title is patterned after <strong><a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/568/koloss" data-entity-code-id="568" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">Koloss</a></strong>.</p>

<p>There’s also a related series for the fourth season, which is not shown here. Titled <a href="https://www.behance.net/gallery/60492239/Butcher-Billys-Tales-of-the-Unexpected-Black-Mirrors?l=11"><cite>Tales from the Black Mirrors</cite></a>, it adds elements from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_the_Unexpected_(TV_series)"><cite>Tales of the Unexpected</cite></a>.</p><br/><a href="https://fontsinuse.com/uses/64324/black-mirror-fictive-comic-book-covers"><img src="https://assets.fontsinuse.com/static/use-media-items/243/242261/upto-700xauto/69b5ec38/S01E03.jpeg"/></a><br/><br/><i><b>Source:&nbsp;<span class="fiu-attribution__sourceUrl"><a href="https://www.behance.net/gallery/46262739/Butcher-Billys-Dark-Tales-From-The-Black-Mirror" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.behance.net</a></span>&nbsp;</b><span><span class="fiu-attribution__credits fiu-text--captioning">Butcher Billy</span>. </span><span>License: <span class="fiu-attribution__license">All Rights Reserved</span><span>. </span></span></i><br/><br/><p>S01E3, “<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Entire_History_of_You">The Entire History of You</a>”.
