The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of WORLD WAR TANK GIRL #1 from Titan Comics. Alan Martin writes, and Brett Parson draws,
colors and letters.
Belgium in January (1945) is pretty bleak, and so is the
battle to take this particular town. The Americans are barely holding their own
until the naked woman starts running around the battlefield. Lo and behold, it’s
none other than Tank Girl, somehow displaced in time. Her friends have appeared
not far away, and have found their own hijinks. But Tank Girl has found the
tank she wants and she’s hell bent on getting it.
Where Tank Girl goes, chaos will follow. And in this issue
she’s packing an extra large helping of it. She kicks some serious Nazi butt
here, but the Yanks don’t fare all that well overall, and the others don’t see
much combat. Tank Girl books are a lot of fun, though, and the art and coloring
work give this one the feel of the old WW2 comics.
This looks like the beginning of another cool installment in
the Tank Girl story, with lots of adventure, plenty of crazy and, well, I’m
sure we’ll find out why they’re in the past sometime soon. This would be a good
jumping-on point.
