The popular British comic book Tank Girl will be moving on from Titan Comics this year, with Albatross Funnybooks – publisher of The Goon – announcing that it has secured the license to the property and will be launching the new series King Tank Girl later this year.
“So this was supposed to be our big announcement that was launching in July,” said Albatross’ Eric Powell. “Our big Comic-Con push. Comic-Con is now canceled and we’re scrambling to try to figure out when our releases are actually gonna happen. But, since it’s the apocalypse, I thought everybody would like to know that Tank Girl is coming to Albatross Funnybooks.”
Tank Girl was created by Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin and first appeared in the pages of Deadline back in 1988, before moving through a host of publishers including DC, IDW Publishing, Image Comics and Titan. The new King Tank Girl series will be written by Martin, with art from Brett Parson, whose recent credits include World-War Tank Girl, The Legend of Tank Girl and Tank Girl Forever.
