Amon over at Pieces of Paint has designed this awesome Pulp Fiction poster in the style of the old pulp fiction crime novels from which Tarantino got the film's title, and Amon's totally nailed the aesthetic. Not only the creases of wear and tear but the editorial graphics like 'A Jules and Vincent Adventure' and 'Roger Avery Crime Drama' as well as the colour palette and 99p sticker really give it the feel of a dime store story from the early 1900s.
The main graphic is obviously based on the adrenaline shot scene after Mia Wallace accidentally snorts Vincent Vega's potent heroine and he has to get the mob doll to his dealer Lance's house in the hope of saving her life. Spoiler - they do. But it's an incredibly tense scene with Vincent and Lance arguing over who has to give her the shot. "You brought her here, and that means you're gonna give her the shot. The day that I bring an ODing bitch to your house then I give her the shot. Give her the shot."
If I ever finish a God damn story or that stupid novel I'm apparently writing, I'm definitely commissioning Amon to design the front cover, not only can he clearly invoke the old school crime noir vibes, but his minimal movie posters are also on point.
