Original Tank Girl Stories Now Available Digitally

Titan Comics is the latest publisher to announce the partnership with both comiXology and iVerse. The fruit of their latest partnership labor is the recently announced Tank Girl by Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin available on the iPad, iPhone, Android devices, Kindle Fire and the web.

The stories first appeared in Deadline magazine, following the adventures of Tank Girl and her mutant kangaroo boyfriend Booga. Hewlett parlayed his success on the series into creating visuals for some band named Gorillaz, by the way.

Titan Comics is releasing the original stories in chronological order as fourteen digitally remastered issues. The first five are now available digitally via comiXology and iVerse, with new selections following every four weeks.

Not only that, but Titan Comics is also building a complete Tank Girl digital collection, starting with Martin and Rufus Dayglo's Bad Wind Rising. In it, Tank Girl and Booga split up. Kind of a big deal.

Full press release below.

GORILLAZ JAMIE HEWLETT & ALAN MARTIN'S ORIGINAL TANK GIRL STORIES NOW AVAILABLE DIGITALLY

What’s bald, and smelly, snogs kangaroos, wears shoes that don’t fit and a bra that’s too tight (and knickers that need a good wash), smokes, drinks, and fights too much for her own good… and has her original stories, now available digitally for the first time via comiXology and iVerse?

You guessed it! TANK GIRL!

Titan Comics is delighted to announce its partnership with comiXology and iVerse for the release of Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin’s Classic Tank Girl stories on the iPad, iPhone, Android devices, Kindle Fire and the web.

First appearing in Deadline magazine, the anarchic series follows the adventures of Tank Girl and her mutant kangaroo boyfriend, Booga.

About Tank Girl
Her real name is Rebecca Buck, but this is very rarely mentioned. Her first words were "cauliflower penis". She was a tank pilot, working as a bounty hunter, before shooting a heavily decorated officer, having mistaken him for her father, and failing to deliver colostomy bags to President Hogan, the incontinent Australian Head of State, resulting in him publicly embarrassing himself at an international trade conference. These events resulted in Tank Girl becoming an outlaw with a multi-million dollar bounty on her head. She is prone to random acts of sex and violence, hair-dyeing, flatulence, nose-picking, vomiting, spitting, and more than occasional drunkenness.

About Booga
A mutated kangaroo, and Tank Girl's devoted boyfriend. She met him when he snuck into her tank to pinch a pair of her knickers. He follows Tank Girl everywhere and does, by his own admission, whatever she tells him. This includes murder.
