Tank Girl first appeared in the inaugural issue of the Deadline anthology in 1988 — meaning that the enduring futuristic outlaw created by Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin is nearing its 30th anniversary.
Naturally, Titan Comics isn’t letting that occasion pass without commemorating it, and CBR has the first details of one of the first books planned as part of what they’ve dubbed “The Year of Tank Girl.” The Way of Tank Girl is a hardcover collection scheduled for release on Jan. 17, 2018, and will feature a medley of Tank Girl-related art in its 128 pages, under the theme of “Tank Girl’s philosophy on life.”
The book will have a cover by Tank Girl creator Jamie Hewlett (best known for creating the virtual band Gorillaz with Damon Albarn), and also feature art by Ashley Wood (artist of 2007’s Tank Girl: The Gifting) and Brett Parson (artist of recent Tank Girl stories including 21st Century Tank Girl and Two Girls, One Tank).
