Alan Martin

Alan C. Martin (born 4 August 1966) is a British comics writer best known as author of the comic strip Tank Girl. Hewlett and Martin Martin first met Tank Girl co-creator Jamie Hewlett in 1986 when they were studying at the West Sussex College of Design in Worthing. With fellow student Philip Bond they began collaborating on a comic/fanzine called Atomtan. The Tank Girl series first appeared in the debut issue of Deadline (1988), a UK magazine intended as a forum for new comic talent, or as its publishers Brett Ewins and Tom Astor put it, "a forum for the wild, wacky and hitherto unpublishable," and it continued until the end of the magazine in 1995.
