Tank Girl: The Odyssey

Softcover, 104 pages, Colour, 2002 (originally published 1995)

A twisted take on Homer’s classical Greek epic, The Odyssey, brought to you by Peter Milligan (X-Statix) and Tank Girl co-creator and artist, Jamie Hewlett (Gorillaz), the Tank Girl Odyssey makes a few “minor” changes to the original…

• …Booga, husband of Tank Girl, is being wooed by countless Hollywood producers, and without his wife there his resolve is crumbling. Tele, their TV-headed son, knows that he must contact his mother… setting off a chain of events that will see Tank Girl face death itself, the siren call of gothic rock, a cyclopean hotel proprietor, and a host of other scenes and characters from The Odyssey… given the — ahem — “idiosyncratic” Tank Girl treatment!
