Tank Girl, the odyssey

Tank Girl: The Odyssey was originally serialized in 1995 before being collected in this 2008 Titan Books edition. Written by Peter Milligan with iconic illustrations by Jamie Hewlett, the narrative serves as a surreal, psychedelic deconstruction of the character's earlier, more straightforward punk-rock adventures. It marks a pivotal moment in the series where the visual style began to lean heavily into the fractured, experimental aesthetic that would later define Hewlett’s work with Gorillaz.

The design of the book reflects the chaotic nature of the storytelling, featuring a dense, collage-like approach to page layout that emphasizes Hewlett's distinct character designs. Upon its initial release, the story was polarizing for its abstract direction and deviation from the grounded, anarchist tone of the original Hewlett and Alan Martin comics. Over time, it has been recognized as a cult classic for its uncompromising artistic vision and the maturation of Hewlett's signature visual vocabulary.
