The UK comics franchise Tank Girl has picked up and found a new home: Albatross Funnybooks.
“Alan Martin and Brett Parson have been doing some amazing Tank Girl stuff lately, and Brett just did a run of The Goon for us,” Albatross founder/publisher Eric Powell told ComicBook. “And I’m a huge fan of his artwork.”
Tank Girl had been exclusively published by Titan Comics for the past eight years, but according to Powell he was approached by Martin and Parson and told they were “looking for another home” for the character.
“And, you know, of course I was interested because it fits right in with everything we’ve been doing,” Powell said. “It’s a character that I think sets beside all the comics we have very, very nicely.”
The first Albatross era Tank Girl title by Martin and Parson will be King Tank Girl, scheduled to debut later this year.
Since the character’s debut in a 1988 issue of Deadline, Tank Girl has jumped to various publishers including DC, Image Comics, Dark Horse, IDW Publishing, Titan Comics, and now Albatross.
This comes on the heels of Margot Robbie developing a new Tank Girl film.
