4.0 out of 5 stars
Printed Insanity, not for everyone,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tank Girl 2 (Paperback)
Tank Girl is the epitome of a cult classic. It is definately not your traditional comic, there isn't much plot to speak of, nor is there much depth in the stories. This is not the book to read for concise social commentary or introspection. This magic of Tank Girl lies in its incredible art, cathartic writing, and the interaction between the numerous insane characters (as well as the characters and the creators). I would reccommend Tank Girl to someone with a very twisted sense of humor and an open mind. It's not for everyone, and does take a different mind set to appreciate. The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is that one or two of the stories in this book were a little too slow at points, and some of the pages were too cluttered. These are minor gripes, but I don't want to say it's a perfect collection. But worth the $.

The Drug years???,
By J. Fritz - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tank Girl 2 (Remastered Edition) (Paperback)
This compilation, like Volume 1, was put together very well with great side notes, an intro from Alan and other extras. They still give you the strips as they were originally drawn, but this was evidentally the point in time when they started to color the strips for Deadline.
Now, let's talk about the downsides of this book. The only complaints about it are really the content of the strip more than anything. This particular compilation seems to house the years of the series when Alan and Jamie were really experimenting as writers and artists, respectively, but also doing much of said experimenting alongside of narcotic experimentation. It references certain authors and movies these guys evidently thought were people to be worshipped (Jack Kerouac's work seems to be the big one), all the while luring the artwork in and out of a psychadelic montage. In fact, most of the book seemed like one big, horny acid trip to me. It started to get a little out of control around the middle. But as I said, earlier: This isn't so much a problem with the compilation so much as it is with the series. So, if you don't like the idea of Tank girl drifting away from the romping through the Outback and into psychological/psychosexual belches followed by 1950s "clean" time, followed by a big psychadelic mess and finally touched off with poverty in the snow jokes, you'd probably just be better off with Volume 1 and only volume 1 (of course, Volume 3 is still on the waiting time...). 1 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
