Top 10 Women Comic Book Characters

August 25th, 2009 Administrator

 

by @MariBiscuits

As geeks, I expect many of you will be comic fans who might share my appreciation of great women characters in comic books. The characters that rise above the mainstream fantasy female, inspiring geek girls and guys alike. In the hope that you will share my appreciation for these great women and the great writers and artists who create them, here are my top 10 women comic book characters.


Tank Girl

1. Tank Girl

Love her or loathe her, you can’t deny this comic book chick is all woman. Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin’s creation first appeared in Deadline (1988), a UK magazine which featured upcoming comic talent.
Set in a post apocolyptic world, we follow our outlaw antiheroine’s adventures with her mutant kangaroo boyfriend and the rest of her strange gang.
With stories including her sexual quirks, substance abuse and of course violence, Tank Girl is every bit the female anarchist, partly due to the awesome style created by Jamie Hewlett, but mostly due to the attitude she has been given and their refusal to cast her in a more demure role.

The movie version may not have been everyones cup of tea, but Tank Girl remains one of my favourite female comic book icons, and her stories will hopefully continue to inspire and entertain those getting into comics as they did for me.
