Artist Rufus Dayglo has spoken about collaborating with Tank Girl co-creator Alan Martin on Image Comics' new Tank Girl: Dark Nuggets one-shot.
The comic will feature three short stories including two titled 'The Barney Band' and 'Sunrise Doesn't Last All Morning'.
Dayglo has previously collaborated with Martin on IDW's Tank Girl: The Gifting.
"Dark Nuggets is a one-off collection of short stories, slightly darker in tone than Visions of Booga or Tank Girl: Skidmarks, our four-issue miniseries out in November from Titan Books.
"It's largely black and white, for a start, like the old days, and I didn't ink any of this stuff - it's all just [HB] pencil.
"A lot of what we do is based on my inability to read his scripts properly. Sometimes this produces happy accidents; more often, though, it only produces a headache for Alan.
"Sometimes I'll suggest a theme, or a person - like Dee Dee Ramone - but Alan writes Tank Girl, I don't want to write it. I like the surprise of the script arriving and having no clue what will happen next.
"It's great. I am so lucky, sometimes it makes my nose bleed. I'm the first person to read the stories - it's a comic geek's dream come true. I just wish I were a better reader, as I miss most of the jokes - or maybe Alan's stopped writing them."
Tank Girl: Dark Nuggets is released on December 9.
