quote: Titan’s first edition in April will feature a new introduction and new origin story by Martin, along with previously unseen material from Hewlett. “What we're doing - specifically - is reprinting the comic strip guts of Dark Horse's 1993 edition, which was colored from their own 4-issue black and white comics; which, in turn, were collected from Tank Girl's original home – the UK-based Deadline magazine, a style magazine which ran interveiws, profiles, reviews, features - and a whole lot of comic strips like Tank Girl, Nick Abadzis' Hugo Tate, Milligan, Ewins & Dillon's 'Johnny Nemo', and lots of other great stuff,” Boardman told Newsarama.

...

The first volume will run 128 pages, Titan’s Jamie told Newsarama. “There will be 4 books in total - Tank Girl volume 1 to volume 3 by Hewlett and Martin, and Tank Girl: The Odyssey, by Peter Milligan and Jamie Hewlett. They'll be released throughout 2002 with the tentative dates of June for volume 2, October for volume 3, and The Odyssey in December.


Oh yes.

they did a few years back, quite soon after its original run IIRC. I remember it had a fake quote from Vidal Sassoon saying something like "We would like to make it clear that Vidal sasson had nothing to do with the creation of this product"

Funny!

The later Tank strips were never collected, iirc. Hope they've got the sense to recify that. Everyone should read the one where TG has to eat a Christmas Pudding off Booga's engorged penis before it explodes.
