Reviewed by Tom Rosin Everything about this book looks right. Think Geoffrey Darrow on pencils, Paul Pope on inks and Vince Ray doing the layouts. Then say they’re doing an ultra violent rock ’n’ roll lone gun(wo)man story and you’re close. Mark got a Japanese copy of this crazy book a few years ago. I thought it was far too obscure and insane to ever get a release here. Let alone exactly how it printed in Japan, from the dust jacket to the pink ink featured throughout. It's perfect. In a fantastic parody of Lone Wolf & Cub, Bambi has to deliver the kid - she names him Pambi - to the mysterious "Old Men". Unfortunately she kidnapped him from the most grotesque and depraved pop star the world has ever known and he's put a five hundred million dollar price on her head. It's tough to do anything with a kid chained to your wrist, let alone shoot so many people. I thought this was going to be a very pretty excuse for a bit of the old ultra-violence, and it is. It's also totally gripping, I had my hand over my face going "Oh my God!!" by the end. I can count on one hand the number of comics that have done that to me. This is basically what everyone disappointed with Tank Girl has been waiting for. Bambi is ice cold. Comment on this review of Bambi and her Pink Gun v1 on the Manga Life Forums. |
