A demented take on Homer’s classical Greek epic, The Odyssey, brought to you by the twisted genius of Peter Milligan (X-Statix) and Tank Girl co-creator and artist, Jamie Hewlett (Gorillaz).

Booga, Tank Girl’s husband, is being wooed by Hollywood agents but Tank Girl is missing and his resolve is crumbling, fast! Tele, their TV-headed son, sets out on a mercy dash to find his mother... in the process triggering a chain of events that will see Tank Girl, not only, face death itself, the siren call of Goth rock and a cyclopean hotel proprietor, but also a host of other scenes and characters based on The Odyssey... give or take the odd — ahem — “idiosyncratic” Tank Girl twist. With a new introduction from Alan Martin.
Praise for Tank Girl:
"Tank Girl took a blowtorch to Batman and kicked seven shades out of Superman... Sexy, psychedelic and spleen-splittingly funny." Maxim
"Tank Girl... Destined to be next spring's candidate for collegiate cult status." Entertainment Weekly
"Lara Croft could not have existed without Tank Girl" Icon
"Frankly Tank Girl was MIA for too long and it's good to see her back" BlogcriticsMagazine
"As much of a wisecracker as she is woman warrior" New York Times

Praise for Alan C. Martin:
"Alan Martin has rather miraculously stepped right back into his groove with the character" Badlibrarianship
