TANK GIRL
by Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin
The eponymous character Tank Girl (Rebecca Buck – later revealed to have been born as Fonzie Rebecca Buckler) drives a tank, which is also her home. She undertakes a series of missions for a nebulous organization before making a serious mistake and being declared an outlaw for her sexual inclinations and her substance abuse. The comic centres on her misadventures with her boyfriend, Booga, a mutant kangaroo.
I loved this comic as a teen. Post-apocalyptic setting, punk, anarchy, violence, beer, drugs and mutant kangaroo boyfriends left quite an impression on my young mind. 🙂
Oh and they also made a movie which is …bla bla….not nearly as good as the comic….bla bla….not even close to the source material….bla bla….something something…..valid film criticism….bla.
Anyway, on its own the movie is still a fun romp and quite a crazy experience in itself. Oh, and they kept the interspecies mutant kangaroo stuff. 🙂
