If, like me, you were reading comics in the 90s, you very likely came across Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett’s surrealist, hilarious, crude and utterly amazing Tank Girl.
And if you did, then there’s a good chance, unless you were reading Deadline Magazine in 1992, then you’ve likely missed one of Tank Girl and Booga’s adventures… Blue Helmet.
Well, rest easy, for Titan Comics are bringing it to comic shelves next week in a new exclusive one-shot.
A single stand-alone comic, this story was originally published in two parts in Deadline Magazine April/May 1992, almost 35 years ago.
Featuring Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and The Hairy Banana Bunch. Read the whole stupid damned story in one gulp! Idea for losing your trunks around the pool this summer!

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
