Tank Girl: The Odyssey #4

The four-issue Vertigo miniseries wraps up with a cover by Brian Bolland that's as gloriously unhinged as the series itself — Tank Girl front and center, tongue out and wide-eyed, while behind her a grinning figure in an orange suit and bullet-banded hat shoves a "Hollywood Contract" covered in dollar signs into the frame, and a lanky, cigarette-holding companion looms overhead alongside a vintage television set and a crowd of wild-eyed onlookers. Peter Milligan's writing and Jamie Hewlett's interior art bring their anarchic energy to this October 1995 finale, and Bolland's painted cover perfectly captures the chaotic, irreverent spirit that made this series such a distinctive corner of DC's mature-readers line. If you've been following Tank Girl's odyssey issue by issue, this is the payoff you've been waiting for.
