Welcome

WELCOME, strange and interesting friends, to the one and only true and official Tank Girl website. My name is Alan and as co-creator of the character I have elected to build a site that can serve both as a central hub of information and a point of contact for all those interested in anything TG. Here you will find the most up-to-date news as TG artist Rufus Dayglo and I blog our ideas and influences, giving you sneaky peaks at upcoming publications, works in progress, and lots of old crap. Also take a moment to sign up to our forum, a place already teaming with lovely people.

Remember to keep checking the Blog, that's where you'll see it all first!

Kind regards
Alan C. Martin

Welcome

If you're a fan of (or even have a vague passing interest in) Jamie Hewlett, Rufus Dayglo, Ashley Wood, and/or Tank Girl, then this coming year should hold a few rare treats for you...

Armadillo Armadillo

"Tank Girl: Armadillo! is the natural heir to the British comedy shows of the 1960's and 1970's like Monty Python's Flying Circus in that it also takes an illogical situation to its most logical conclusion. The only difference is that Tank Girl: Armadillo! has far more basis in reality than those other shows did. On the surface this is a hoot and a holler, but underneath it all is a call to arms."

The Gifting The Gifting

"Ashley Wood delivers a very cool style which somehow, despite not trying to imitate Jamie's original work, manages to reference it at a level old fans will recognise and appreciate - he delivers art which suits the story and characters perfectly and manages to make them very much Tank Girl while still very Ashley Wood too, a pretty neat trick to pull off."

Visions of Booga Visions of Booga

"A sheer joy, feels like the old days of TG but more kind of wistful and poetic, even the poo jokes feel somehow more beautiful this time round. Basically this issue was a kind of dream come true for me - two hot chicks ride around in a vintage Nazi halftrack while a kangaroo reads the great lost work of the Beat Generation. I wonder if Alan C. Martin is reading my mind?"

Skidmarks Skidmarks

In September 2008 Tank Girl returns to her rightful place in a British monthly comic, specifically the Judge Dredd Megazine, as we unveil a year-long story "Skidmarks" in twelve trouser-tanning instalments. This will then be gathered up into a mini-series (by Titan Books, now with a great distribution Stateside) and finally shovelled into graphic novel form in time for your Christmas prezzie list in 2009.

The Cream of Tank Girl The Cream of Tank Girl

"Providing a definitive guide to Tank Girl and her world, this coffee-table art book boasts masses of Jamie Hewlett's finest artwork, including tons of rare art and the previously unseen comic strip, The 16s."

Older books Remastered Editions

"From the depths of the outback she charges, astride her fabulous tank! It's...Tank Girl. Join everybody's favourite beer-swilling, chain-smoking, kangaroo-worrying lunatic as she blitzes her way through a dazzling array of bizarre adventures.

ALAN’S SATURDAY POP SLOT #33 - GIMME SOME TRUTH by JOHN LENNON
From the 1971 album Imagine. I didn’t discover this song until it resurfaced on the b-side of the postumous single release of the song Love in 1982, then I wore the grooves off the record. George Harrison on Guitar, Klaus Voormann on bass. If you haven’t heard the track in full, it’s well worth seeking out. Peace Alan [...]
