Remember Tank Girl? I sorta do. There was a 1995 movie, right? With the guy from Body Count and SVU.
Do you remember rock and roll radio, The Clash, Love and Rockets? The creators crammed all of that into a dyke role model with post apocalyptic kangaroo sidekick that live in a tank in Australia.
Jamie Hewlett went on to form Gorillaz, and original creator Alan Martin sort of wandered the countryside (seriously) looking to uncover ancient mysteries.
Martin has since resurrected the character in 2007, and [Titan Books] has released his latest story, Solid State Tank Girl with art by Warwick Johnson-Cadwell.
We see familiar faces—Booga, Jet Girl and Tank Girl.
We’re in a radio repair shop, something likely useful I the ‘80s or in post apocalyptic times. Booga zaps himself on an old radio and Tank Girl is put to task to revive him.
How do they do it? Honey I Shrunk the Kids style.
There’s a delightful few pages of ball humor before they do the Osmosis Jones bit and float into the gross kangaroo insides.
To cram just one more Netflix classic in there, perhaps the reason Booga has fallen ill could be found in the plot of Three Men and a Baby.
A fun, punk rock read with a female leading cast.
A backup story pits Tank Girl against Dick Strangeballs!
Tank Girl is Dead. Long Live Tank Girl!
