Beat of the best! May have inspired Tarantino's Pulp Fiction Poster. Wow!

I might need that gun to get this from you. Wonderful art from a great era in the paperback industry.

Great mix of colors and textures. Her bad girl pose and attitude piques your interest with how we love lurid crime tales.
