Remember Tank Girl? Well she's back, written by Alan Martin, the original writer, and now drawn by Ashley Wood, who's Australian and with a style that reminds me a lot of Dave McKean's work on Cages. It's been a while since I actually read some Tank Girl, but the original stuff is totally random, I mean it was written and drawn on the fly without any sense of what would happen next. This new material is written in episodes of a few pages each. Woods' art is reminescent of Hewlett's, but a lot sketchier, and wilder. Thus is the sort of no-holds-barred outrageousness I love in comics.
And here's an
Alan Martin interview. And here's a
Jamie Hewlett interview, he was the original artist and went on to co-create the Gorillaz.
I should also mention
Telling Tall Tales, a webcomic by Parker Emerson, is worth checking out. Not only does it use photos for the artwork, but I met Parker when we were both studying abroad in England, and he's a really great guy.
