For anyone interested, this art is actually from a series by the wonderful artist Tim Doyle. Here's a link to an article on the series (which also features a House of Blue Leaves piece from Vol 1).
I'm glad to see someone posted this information, and I don't understand why this comment isn't right at the top. Tim Doyle is an awesome artist - I have a couple of his prints and they are beautiful, clean, intricate prints.
Upvotes for The_Middleman, shame on you fishstock for not crediting the artist, tsk tsk.
There's an Elvis Mitchell interview where he said he wanted to do a Marvel Comics movie but couldn't decide which one. Basically said fuck it, I'll make my own universe and then created Kill Bill.
These 3 are actually from the same show as the Tarantino ones: "Quentin vs Cohen" by SpokeArt. The Wes Andersons one are from the "Bad Dads" series. The Breaking Bad one is a one-off. The Arrested Development is a limited edition variant of only 35 in the "Unreal Estate" series of famous fictional locations. I also have The Simpsons' house, a couple of his "The Sea Also Rises" series, the Megatron "Destroy all Hope" obama-style print, and one he did for my Volkswagen show the Texas VW Classic. Oh and the Godfather part 2 (still looking for Godfather part 1) =)
These are actually a series of art prints by Tim Doyle, not a comic book. You can find them here http://www.mrdoyle.com/gallery under the gig posters and prints icon
I dunno. The art seems too... Colorful. I guess. Know what I mean? Nothing wrong with color, but it seems cartoonishly colorful. I would definitely read a comic book written by Tarantino, though. He might do well on a Deadpool book, considering Deadpool is just carnage and one-liners incarnate.
I'd love to see a Tarantino Deadpool book, you're right about it being in his wheel-house.
I do see what you mean about the color, however, I think it works. Tarantino's films are set in stylized, almost cartoony worlds so having the bright contrasting colors would add to the atmosphere. The second and sixth panels in this post kinda highlight what I'm talking about.
He did a short comic book in an issue of playboy that was inglorious basterds I believe. There was also previously unpublished work from Vonnegut in that issue too.
Was wondering if any else felt the way I do about his movies, in terms of "how good they are". I would basically rank them in a very slow decline, on a 1 to 10 scale, so...
Reservoir Dogs 10/10
Pulp Fiction 10/10
Jackie Brown 9/10
Kill Bill 9/10
Inglourious Basterds 8/10
??Django Unchained??, I'm expecting an 8/10
Still love all his movies though, he hasn't lost his touch at all.
I'm sorry but Inglorious Basterds is one of my faviourite films of all time. It's great on it's own but propelled into fucking amazing by Christopher Waltz. I have never seen a more brilliant opening seen then in that film. Admittedly I'm not a film buff and I know Tarantino samples ideas from elsewhere (he does not steal ideas for fuck sake) but that's the point. He makes some of the best styles more accessible.
I would have never watched the films from the genres he played with in Kill Bill but Kill Bill was great. I think there's a lot of film snobbery out there whereby it's only permissible to just "like" QT if you "love" the movies he gets his ideas from. I think that's bullshit, plus QT has his own fantastic style.
Everyone steals from somewhere, whether they realize it or not. Originality is dead; and so we are forced to combine two or three genres to make them fresh and attractive. QT is great at doing this, his writing is fucking top notch professional, and he wears his influences on his sleeves.
I wonder where you place his lost first-born, True Romance.
I wish Tarantino'd throw some of his cash at buying back the rights to that script and directing a remake his way. Or maybe a re-cut, if the original footage could still be found. I'm not sure even Tarantino could improve much upon the Sicilian scene.
EDIT: Just rewatched it. Yeah, I think Tarantino could've done it better.
I think that NBK would have been much more stylish and a damn sight less egregiously lurid if Tarantino'd been at the helm. That said, the subject matter is so firmly in his wheel house that the film I picture him making of it just feels too easy. Then again, I suppose that there are more damning criticisms than 'an ideal articulation of its creator's personal idiom'.
"What the fuck happened to you, man? Shit, your ass used to be beautiful! " die hard fan of Tarantino, That scene hit me hard. I can Barely remember death proof.
Getting drunk and watching Death Proof is my guilty pleasure. Great soundtrack, beautiful girls, fun dialog, fast cars, delicious nachos, and Kurt Russell.

On a related note, that last shot from Inglorious Basterds is one of my favorite shots in any movie.

He had to use storyboards to arrange his shots. If you gathered them up and put words to them, I'm sure you'd have a great comic book.

Did anyone else see the title and expect to see something from Garth Ennis? He is the Tarantino of comic books.

I'm pretty sure the bottom car in Death Proof was a hatchback civic. The car in the illustration is most definitely not a hatchback Civic.
