I can't remember the date but this is coming out soon I think. Wood is an unexpected choice of artist but looking at these samples I can detect something of the energy and humour of Hewlett's art:

I received a couple Tank Girl books from one of those "if you don't buy anything we'll send you the most expensive item" book clubs. Never read 'em though, looked kind of crude.

Should I pull those babies out of my book collection and give them a read?

The early Tank Girls were great

It went a bit up its own arse after a while in my opinion but when it was good it was great, really funny and beautifully drawn.

I'm looking forward to this new book

Tank Girl was a hoot. Here's those pages since the image didn't seem to show up:

Tanky

I think it was supposed to be out last Thursday, but my local's usually about a week late so I haven't checked yet.

I don't like that cover at all. Thinking about it, the best looking bits IMO are the 2 panels that look as though they were traced from earlier strips. I like what I've seen of Wood's work (not much, admittedly) but I don't think he's quite got her spirit right. Still, new Tanky is new Tanky and I'll give it a fair read before I do a proper review.

Thanks for the preview Adrian :) x

That's okay - I wish I was drawing it to be honest.

Looks like they work well together from this distance.

From this distance looks like Tank Girl to me.
