Retired Superheroes by Donald Soffritti

Donald Soffritti is an illustrator with a passion for superheroes. After many years of following the adventures of Spider-Man rather than Captain America he has posed the fatal question, "But what will happen to the superheroes when they get old and retire ?". The answer came through a series of drawings that have suggested how people who have superpowers will be as seniors. Soffritti's Thor has become decidedly overweight since taking on beer. Captain America is a symbol of the American dream will spend the rest of his days at the table of a fast food restaurant.
Italian cartoonist Donald Soffritti imagines the later years of superheroes, with hilarious results. Original titles "retired superheroes" or "superheroes decadence". His brilliant cartoons have been collected into a book, available here.
