I've loved Tank Girl ever since watching the iconic film with Lori Petty. He's a kangaroo and I'm a girl who drives a tank, so you can see that we were a match made in heaven. Let's start at the bottom and work our way up. To prove the point, I'm gonna take you back a half-dozen years and show you just how crappy things can get. We've been through our hard times, too, right down there at the bottom of the barrel with all the other losers, it comes to us all, at least once in our lives. Okay, so things are looking pretty creamy for me and Booga right now, but I gotta tell ya that they weren't always that way. Not that it matters.Īll in all, pure entertainment, a cult series you should check out.

It's just fun, a few laughs, neat little pop culture references (I mention Adam of the Ants baking cookies for a charity bake sale) and if I haven't mentioned it already, it's FUN! I always thought Jet Girl was my favorite but this time I leaned towards Barney. The art work often seems like grade school drawings but then switches to excellent artwork. The stories wander all over the place, from the ridiculous to the sublime. But if you want gunfire, tanks, mutant kangaroos, Tank Girl, Jet Girl, Barney and Boat Girl, all drinking, swearing, partying and living lives full of adventure in some futuristic, dystopic Australian desert, then give it a try. If you're expecting the stories to make sense, put this one back on the shelf. This collection contains three stories and a number of quick shots The Royal Escape, Visions of Booga and The Innocent Die First. You get exactly what you might expect, stuff and nonsense, but wonderfully, entertaining stuff and nonsense. What do you get with a Tank Girl graphic novel you ask? Well try The Power of Tank Girl by Allan Martin.
