I especially enjoyed the strip ‘Tank Girl 2’ that pokes fun at the infamous flop of a Tank Girl movie. Booga (Tank Girl’s mutant kangaroo boyfriend/sidekick) continues to be her right-hand man while being dense as ever and even Jet Girl pops up. She’s usually wheeling some sort of firearm or samurai sword but the fact her hair and clothes change from story to story is something I’ve always really loved and it’s great to see that carry on. One of the great things about Tank Girl is her constantly changing image, there is no ‘set’ look for her. This beautiful hardback goes back to her roots with a collection of short stripes, single page monologues and also a gallery of never-seen-before artwork from Jim Mahfood. Martin and a new illustrator in Jim Mahfood, whose previous roles have included Illustrating Director for Kevin Smith’s Clerks comic. Tank Girl broke the mould and for that reason, she will always hold a little place in my heart.Įverybody Love Tank Girl sees her return with original writer Alan C. Empowering, gutsy, self-reliant and ballsy, she captured the heart of female generation who felt they’d been underestimated and stereotyped by most of the comic book world. Her underground popularity grew and soon she became the ‘face’ of punk rock women. She was originally drawn by Jamie Hewlett (now of Gorillaz fame) and written by Alan C. The ball breaking, anarchist comic book character Tank Girl first appeared in series format between the covers of Deadline Magazine back in 1988.
