Is an Inglorious Basterds comic book forthcoming?

These five Inglorious Basterds comic book covers, made up to look like throwback Jack Kirby style action/adventure books, have been making the rounds on the Internet over the past few days. It isn’t clear whether or not these will be the covers for an actual printed comic book, or just posters/promotional items for the upcoming DVD release. All I can tell you for certain is that they are awesome.

Quentin Tarantino has built a career off of a stylistic presentation of cultish nostalgia, and this artwork is another good example of that. Had I seen these prior to seeing the film, I would have assumed that they were from some obscure Sgt. Rock or Nick Fury spin-off that I’d somehow overlooked. The authenticity of detail is impressive.
