For that you really need Illustrator, CorelDraw or Freehand.

Yes, if I'm doing those from scratch, but what about editing
old photos to look like that? Kingdom already mentioned
dry brush, but that's not what I'm looking for. It did something
like that on lo-res picture but I haven't tried hi-res pictures
yet. Filters sometimes give quite different results depending
on resolution and picture size.

You'll have difficulty doing it because on those sorts of
photos/poster require large swathes of single colours separated by
discreet, but visible black lines. As it's not something I've ever
really thought about, other than to produce from scratch in
Illustrator or whatever, I'm probably not the best person to ask. I'm
sure someone in the range of people on this ng will be able to help
though. Basically, if no one here can help you then I suggest you're
probably out of luck. ;-)
