Tank Girl

Welcome to the unofficial Tank Girl WWW site home of everyone's favourite punkster chick.

Tank Girl is the creation of Worthing comic artists Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin. She first appeared in Deadline magazine, and quickly rose like a metaphor, to reach international fame, in an ultimately poorly drawn and apatheticly handled disaster.

Over the years Tank Girl stuff has been harder and hard to find. I've now set up a bunch of links to places where you can buy the books, soundtrack, or movie over the net. Still not much luck on shirts, posters, and etc. Whereever you see the symbol, that means you can buy the damn thing over the net.

I've deals with the following places to make life easier for you:





News groups

Some random news on Tank Girl might occasionally be found on alt.fan.tank-girl as occasionally there's an on topic post, but don't count on it. All I've seen on it for the past year or so has been adverts for Dutch porn sites. For more serious questions, maybe try alt.comics.alternative. Then again I've not looked at that site since the early 90s, so I've no idea if it's even still in use.

About now you're thinking:

How can I help make this site a better place?

also, if you know anyone who looks like Tank Girl, get a picture of them and get it to me. Either encode it and email it to me. I'll put it on the clones page. Or you could conceivably post it to me and I'll scan it. But ask me first.

Lastly, if ther're any Tank Girl products you think the world really needs, tell me and I might put it the wish list.
