Tank Girl returns for more classic carnage in this bumper-sized collection of three madcap adventures! Collecting Everybody Loves Tank Girl, Solid State Tank Girl and Tank Girl: Bad Wind Rising! Tank Girl: Everybody Loves Tank Girl: Everyone's favorite outback anarchist is back to blow things up, swear profusely and offend the elderly! Alan C. Martin teams up with wunderkind Jim Mahfood to bring you Tank Girl as you've never seen her: wild, raw, foul-mouthed and forever rockin' but rendered in a style that will bring pleasure to thine eyes. Meet The Wee Wee Brothers, travel south to a Hippie Fest with all the gang, take a tour around Booga's factory, and let Tank Girl show you How To Dress Quite Good. Tank Girl: Solid State Tank Girl: Spawned in Booga's testicle, Anti Tank Girl is the worst nemesis Tank Girl has ever faced, and she's out to replace Tank Girl for good! TG and her gang of misfits will have to draw on all their innermost powers to defeat the disgusting doppelganger before it's too late! Tank Girl: Bad Wind Rising: A holiday. A hold-up. A murder. A car chase. A mound of dog poo. A very large vodka. A fistfight. A kick in the groin. An earthquake. A mutant surfer. A lorry heist. A thousand pairs of panties. A tiny moped. And a gang of killer kangaroos after Tank Girl's scalp. Don't miss this twisted action adventure!
Wild and zany graphic sci-fi adventures of Tank Girl, her kangaroo boyfriend, Booga, and friends Jet Girl and Barney. It's like Mad Magazine on acid. Hilarious and raunchy dialogue, but I really didn't care for the style of art.
The musical references alone made this book. I'm absolutely going back through and making a playlist of every reference and recommended track/artist/album listed throughout. From the not so surprising Danny Brown and Mad Villain to the more shocking The Mothership Connection and Coltrane! If I'm not mistaken, there were also a couple of Dad's Army references towards the back that made me very very happy since no one ever gets it when I reference the old BBC wartime sitcom from the 60s. "They don't like it up 'em!" when referring to being stabbed by bayonets will always be funny to me.
The only heads up I'll give is a trigger warning for all kinds of stuff! If nasty filth, cursing, killing people with frozen pee shards, constant dick jokes and unwiped ass bothers you, don't even bother. Heads up for domestic violence, rapey situations, incest, and honestly I could just keep listing stuff. It's great art, just take care of yourself and be in a good headspace. :)
Also, I bought this book brand new and the pages already started falling out after one read and I'm a gentle reader so be ready to lose a page or two!
Took this one slow. It's real punk. Real retro. Maybe old. Definitely sophomoric, but not necessarily sopho-moronic. And fun. Largely-inventive cussing: teeth grindingly, eye rollingly lame, and fun, too.
