Website Twitch posts five glorious Kirby-esque covers for an imagined Inglorious Basterds comics series spun off from Quentin Tarantino’s last movie. Absolutely pitch-perfect for the material, I think, wouldn’t it be cool to see a whole comic done this way? I think the cover for issue #5 (below) is my favourite. Someone show these to [...]
