Mike Barry's amazing graphic novel series for amazing kids.
Action Tank is the critically acclaimed graphic novel series from Australian writer/illustrator Mike Barry.
With TWO EPIC VOLUMES made specifically for 7-12 year old readers, Action Tank is a full-colour comic book story about a boy who finds himself on the other side of the Solar System but needs to get home in time for his Mum’s spaghetti carbonara.
BOOK 2 continues straight on from the cliffhanger at the end of BOOK 1, and contains MORE ACTION, MORE HUMOUR, MORE CHARACTERS and WAAAAAAY MORE PAGES!
“Smart, funny, and dynamically designed, ‘Action Tank’ is an impressive debut that’s sure to engage readers, some of whom will no doubt be inspired to write and draw their own powered-up comics.”
– SHAUN TAN (The Arrival, Cicada, Tales from the Inner City)
