Tank Girl: Apocalypse #3

Tank Girl takes the chaos to outer space in this third chapter of the four-issue Apocalypse miniseries, with cover art by Brian Bolland showing our helmet-clad heroine riding her heavily armed, rocket-festooned tank through the void — Earth and a rust-red planet looming dramatically in the background. The tank itself is a gloriously over-the-top contraption bristling with cannons, checkerboard-patterned rockets, and star insignia, perfectly matching the anarchic energy Alan Grant brings to the writing. If "Tank Girl Goes to Mars" sounds like exactly the kind of premise that belongs in Vertigo's 1996 lineup, this cover makes an irresistible case that it absolutely does.
