Review
"THE CREAM OF TANK GIRL is an impressive work for sure. Mostly impressive because of its display of the mad brilliance of Jamie Hewlett's artwork. Each page is just chock full of Hewlett's masterful cartoon work and it puts so much of comicdom to shame. There is just page after page of beautifully produced material here and it's breathtaking for someone like myself who is such a huge fan of Hewlett's work. Any cartoonist or fan of cartoon art would do themselves a favor by picking this book up as it shows a master at the top of his game.
It was a joy for me to read and look at. With the publication of WATCHING THE WATCHMEN and THE CREAM OF TANK GIRL I think Titan Books has put out two of the best books about comics I've ever seen." Ain't It Cool News

This review is from: The Cream of Tank Girl (Hardcover)
The Cream of Tank Girl starts off with a funny piece by Alan Martin, looking at their student years, tracing back at how it got started. After that, the rest of the book is all art. The pages are filled with sketches, cover art, comics, photos, unpublished and rejected illustrations, storyboards, screenplays (for the movie) and a lot of other stuff from random publications. Captions are provided for a few illustrations, looking back to the hectic days when they are trying to get Tank Girl to print. I still find the kangeroo dude, Booga, disturbing, probably because of the human anatomy without a human head. There are also some refined character designs for Booga, Tank Girl and her tank at the back. Tank Girl fans will love this book. It's should be pretty inspirational for artists too for the graphic art. There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.

It'll Make Tank Girl Fans Scream.,
By tvtv3 "tvtv3" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Cream of Tank Girl (Hardcover)
Tank Girl remains a relatively popular comic across the ocean, but most Americans have only heard of Tank Girl from the 1995 live-action movie. The movie might serve as a way to introduce people to this quirky character, but it still doesn't do justice to the comic and was panned by many fans of the comic. THE CREAM OF TANK GIRL, on the other hand, is a book written by co-creators Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett that is aimed solely at fans of Tank Girl in celebration of Tank Girl's 20th Anniversary. If you're looking for an anthology of Tank Girl comics, look somewhere else. There are a few comics in the book, but THE CREAM OF TANK GIRL is basically a collection of sketches, comic and magazine covers, newspaper articles, never-before-seen illustrations, and even a snippet from the TANK GIRL screenplay all with commentary from Alan Martin.
THE CREAM OF TANK GIRL is a book that fans of Tank Girl will definitely want to own. It's also a book that graphic artists and those who appreciate graphic novels might enjoy. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
