purchased raw in 2019
this is the only book in my collection that is not graded
Atom Tan #1 features the first appearance of Tank Girl.
There were only 150 total copies of Atom Tan #1 printed.
Most are long gone...
Below is a quote from Alan Martin (co-creator of Tank Girl) regarding it:
"In June 1987, whilst still studying at Worthing Art College, Jamie Hewlett, Phil Bond, and I launched our first published work.
- Atom Tan issue #1 -
The first print run of around 50 copies was printed on the staff photocopier at Worthing with a cover price of 50p and sold amongst fellow students. We then took the proceeds and went into town to a copy-shop and got a second print run of 100 more printed with a £1 cover price.
Since then, the comic has become a minor legend, having been the birth place of Tank Girl in her own one-page advert.
Original copies are very rare, fetching high prices when they come up at auctions."
FYI:
This is a 'Life Magazine' top loader, MyLite 4, and MyLite backing board with a sheet of archive paper behind the front cover & before the back cover.
I bought this book the day I realized I no longer held the top spot in the Tank Girl CGC registry.
(after having held the top spot in the CGC registry for 6 years from 2014 - 2019)
