Tank Girl 1 (Remastered Edition)

Being somewhat a cult comic fan, I'm always on the lookout for REALLY original looking stuff. So when I heard about "Tank Girl," I HAD to check it out. This compilation series starts off with Alan Martin, the writer of Tank Girl, giving an introduction talking about the source of inspiration for Tank Girl among other things. The series itself is pretty random and childish, but also very funny, violent, sexy and stylish. It's mostly about a girl in her early twenties driving a highly armed tank around a post-apocalyptic Australia. Lots of boozing, nudity and kangaroo jokes.
This volume shows all the Tank Girl stuff from the first 8 issues of Deadline in the original black and white forms, which can be problem because :
A.) Some of the words are sort of faded, but not too bad.
B.) All you people who constantly demand to see color in movies, comics and music will be sorely disappointed.
Anyway, as a newcomer to the series, I was happy with it, but for the rest of you veteran fans, there's probably not too many reasons for you to replace the previous compilations you bought years ago with this one.

Tank Girl is hard to describe. She is utterly insane and lives in a post-apocalyptic world consisting of talking kangaroos, villains, and yes, her giant tank. The good thing about Tank Girl is, number one, she doesn’t care what people think. Number two she is fearless. Number three? Well, her fashion sense in amazing. The back describes Tank Girl as “an ignorant, beer-swilling, bestial skinhead [who becomes] an ignorant, beer-swilling, bestial blonde in a tank.” What’s more to love?

Volume 1 of Tank Girl encompasses 15 issues ranging from October 1988 to February 1990. The comics are utterly, but purposefully, non Sequitur and it’s beautiful. I read through many panels thinking, “I don’t know what is going on but I love it.”

A woman like tank girl naturally has a lot of enemies. Or makes enemies along the way. Besides Booga, a trusted Kangaroo companion. Things don’t always come out the way Tank Girl plans, but she always comes out the insane victor at the end. It’s hard to defeat a woman who is, as I said, utterly insane and possesses a tank.

There are some really good features to the anthology. I particularly liked the cut out Tank Girl paper doll. It comes complete with uni-cycle and flask of coffee. The end also features a few pages of the original color covers of a few issues. I love it when anthologies include the covers—it gives a greater sense of what the comic looked like when it came out and it feels you are truly reading the comics as pieces and not as one whole massive storyline.

I love Tank Girl, and this book was put together with care :) The prints are amazing and the binding is solid. I bought the rest of the editions as well and they're all equally satisfactory!

I love Tank Girl! She has a crazy attitude but does show some very tiny soft spots in her personality. Funny, witty, stylish!! Anyway, i ordered some of the books that arrived in great condition. They arrived in the timeframe specified and i thoroughly enjoy them. I plan on continuing to add to the collection here and there when possible.

Tank girl is my favorite comic book character. I love this graphic novel!!!!! The product was in excellent condition when I received it. If you're a nerd and a girl you'll fall in love with Tank Girl, if you're a boy than you'll be laughing your bum off the whole time you're reading it!

Loved it. Awesome art, super fun plot and hilarious script. Paper and print quality is really good, I generally prefer paper that is not glossy.
Maybe 5 stars are too much but i feel like 4 is just not enough. I would really prefer 9 over 10!

I never read these comics when they were being published. I got interested in the artist after being a Gorillaz fan for a few years. These comics were sort of independently published, and it shows. They very much feel like a student/amateur project. Unless you have fond memories or nostalgia attached to these comics, there's not much here for you.

Fun read😂

Art work is fantastic and it's nice to go back and read in sequential order to see the evolution of this comic series. Lovely. Great addition to any comic collection.

The book is in great condition and the story, art, and layout are outstanding. I highly recommend this comic. Amazing.
