I don’t know where Titan of the Web Harry Knowles found these images, but I stole them from his Twitter feed. The awesomeness you see below is 5 comic book covers for a 1970s-style adaptation of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds as if Jack Kirby had done them. I think they’re pretty amazing, and the artist truly has the feel of those Jack “King” Kirby covers down right.
And I’d be very willing to buy the cover to issue 5 as a poster. That one rules.

Harry Knowles + Fat Joke = WIN!
I want these to be made by Joe Casey now. I would by that series. I would by the shit out of that series.
Looks like the work of Jim Rugg, who also has a totally awesome modern-day blaxploitation comic, Afrodisiac.
I like how it's approved by the Comics Code.
HARRY KNOWLES AND DEVIN FATASSI ARE BOTH OVERWEIGHT INDIVIDUALS!
Awesome covers. "Revenge of the Giant Face"! Hahaha
In this age where a lot of apparently cool stuff exists – these are actually proper good. Kudos. And a timely reminder that Inglourious Basterds (along with UP) was the best film of this year.
OMFG!!! love this!!!
Joe Casey is a writer not an artist. However, his artist on "Godland" is very Kirby-esque. The guy's name is Tom Scioli, and he did a pretty awesome Captain America for me at a con a couple years back. He'd be really good on something like this. Anyway, I think #4 does look like Kirby's style, but the cover design is a bit more reminiscent of that Steranko Nick Fury cover that everyone knows. Still, really awesome stuff here!
Reminds me a lot of the Chaykin Star Wars covers as well as Kirby and Steranko.
I like how they have scenes that aren't actually in the story, but convey the excitement just like real Golden/Silver age comics.
This is by me, Martin Duhovic. Thanks for the kind words. Should have written my name bigger. Oh and the detail in the coloring full size (1 meter tall) is all dots and crust, real nice. Thanks again!
are the 3 hours of pointless talking included?
Mr.Duhovic, I know you you were illustrating Tarantino's version of IB here, but were you also making references to the original 70's film? For a second I thought these covers were an actual Kirby project adapting the older IB, which is completely possible. Based on that, you can see these covers work so well on a number of levels.
I would sooo buy this as a series.
Martin! Bravo!!!I like your style.
You are real kirbiano, the graphism, the soul. Really!!
