This hardcover volume collects the four-issue miniseries taking the punk heroine on an extremely bizarre adventure that defies expectation, logic, and the laws of science. Par for the course, writer and series creator Martin takes the mundane and blows it up into the barely conceivable while the unimpressed Tank Girl and her friends treat it like another day at the office. A simple trip to a radio repair shop results in Tank Girl and her friends Barney and Jet Girl shrinking down in a miniaturizing submersible to save her mutated kangaroo boyfriend from a volatile brain aneurism, only to end up in his testicle where they find a baby growing. And that is where things get really crazy.
VERDICT Tank Girl was created in the late 1980s in the style of British punk art and music and through continuous publication has kept a firm hold on the feel of punk culture. Providing art for the series is Johnson-Cadwell, debuting in his first major publication with a whirlwind story of quick humor, action, and gratuitous violence and profanity that unapologetically fulfills a 25-year-old legacy of absurdist, alternative adventuring.
