greeniezona's review against another edition
4.0
Once upon a time, I saw the movie Tank Girl, and it was like nothing I'd ever seen before. I loved it. Eventually, I heard that it was based off of a comic, supposedly, but that it had diverged so far from the source material as to make the comic writers furious. Curious, over the years I collected the three TPBs of Tank Girl, which were definitely different. I continue to love both, but was always curious about what happened to split them.
This book doesn't really tell that story, but it does fill in a few missing pieces. Instead, it's a much broader history of the authors and the comic, but told in short bursts of text wedged between lots of art, including storyboards for an animation that never came to be, lots of design drawings for the movies, comic covers, and a side project comic about pirates.
I did like that it sort of explained why the second TPB was so all over the place. There is a lot of fun to be had in this art book.
