Hollywood nearly killed Tank Girl. Dodgy movies have a way of doing that to people. Tank Girl's creators, writer Alan Martin and artist Jamie Hewlett, would be the first to say the 1995 big screen incarnation of the cult comic strip character, which they had zero control over, wasn't all that it should have been. Indeed they might even say it was a "shit sandwich" (well, actually, Martin did). Fortunately, Tank Girl's superhuman, and her fuck you spirit would never allow a bunch of scummy film execs...
Even though it wasn't the best movie, I still really enjoyed it. It's nothing like the comics though, I'm glad to see Tank Girl is making a comeback xxxxx x
I dont know maybe its just me but... its just not the same with out Jamie Hewlett, I loved his art, and it feels like the humor has changed a bit, but I still love em.
Cool interview, I got the cream of tank girl the other day. Its good and really interesting. The movie was fun, but not a patch on the comics.
I look forward to reading the new ones too
I know Tank Girl is a little before my time but I've fallen in love with it ever since I saw it in a comic shop 3 years ago. Only reason I picked it up was because I was curious as to why the art reminded me of The Gorllaz. One of the best choices of my life.
