Tank Girl: Gold #1

Written by Alan Martin, art by Brett Parson

Goofy. Irreverent. Beautiful. And just plain weird, Tank Girl: Gold #1 aims to amuse and please.

Having not read the contents of Tank Girl: Two Girls, One Tank, I came into this issue cold. It had been awhile since I had read Tank Girl; the last time was in 2012 and reading Jim Mahfood’s Everybody Loves Tank Girl. Which is excellent, by the way. Tank Girl: Gold has the charm and lewdness that is often found in a Tank Girl book, though I found Gold to appeal to me more.

Comparing it to Everybody, Gold is more refined. Not refined in, it has more class; that is certainly not the case. Instead, it is as if the author and illustrator knew what they wanted to do, did it, and had an amazing time doing it. Martin brings the comedy and feel that is common in the Tank Girl franchise. Nothing is sacred, everything can be commented on, referred to, made fun of, and ultimately made into a joke. For example, Booga must travel the Furry Road as punishment. Like the Fury Road it plays upon, the Furry Road is just as perilous but much more vulgar.

What I enjoy more than the crude humor and incessant cursing is the art. Brett Parson knocks it out of the park- it is rough enough to channel Mahfood, but clean and stylized to exist on its own and stand out. While there are times I had wished there was more color, the muted, drab tones contrast the vivid, animated style; all of which fits the Tank Girl universe well.

Tank Girl: Gold #1 makes me want to go back and read Two Girls, One Tank. The story may exist on its own, but knowing the backstory can only add more.

Dane Cypel has not traveled the Fury Road or Furry Road. He has traveled I-95, which is comparable to both.

Tank Girl: 2 Girls 1 Tank

Written by Alan Martin

Art by Brett Parson

Tank Girl was my first comic.  I was around 12 or 13 years old and I remember being totally captivated by her brazen IDGAF-ness.  It seemed very important to me at a time when I was just starting to go through that rite of passage into womanhood, the one where grown men catcall you on the street and make you feel scared and shrink into yourself.  Tank Girl was not scared.  Tank Girl took up space.  Tank Girl wore a bra top if she felt like it and just go ahead, I dare you to catcall her. I’ll always appreciate my mom’s endless patience with my adolescent attempts to reinvent my wardrobe, and in many ways my attitude, in Tank Girl’s image (maybe not with bra tops, but still…).

All of this is to say, I basically wanted to be Tank Girl.  So it’s kind of crazy that 2 Girls 1 Tank is about an art gallerist named Mags who acquires Tank Girl’s tank and decides to become Tank Girl. (Before I worked at comiXology, I was an art historian.  IS THIS ABOUT ME?  Signs point to yes.)

I really like Brett Parson’s art (he also worked on 21st Century Tank Girl).  I know, I know, you love Jamie Hewlett.  I know.  Me, too. But Parson does an excellent job keeping the anarchist vibe of Hewlett’s Tank Girl in play while giving it his own style.  Stubborn Tank Girl purists should still check this book out, though.  Alan Martin’s writing is just what you want in a Tank Girl book.  It’s good, smart, vulgar fun, with lots of action and irreverence and friendship.  Or at least, I’m hoping things end with Tank Girl and Mags becoming BFFs.

Tia Vasiliou is a Digital Editor at comiXology. She drives an SUV, which is not quite a tank but pretty close plus she swears a lot so maybe there is still hope for her becoming Tank Girl…?
