Overview
Action Tank is a humorous sci-fi graphic novel series for middle graders, with a story and setting that span the Solar System. A boy races across the Solar System, piloting a beat-up spaceship and accompanied by his fascinating new friends. Forced to crash-land on Neptune, he's soon dodging lightning cannons, racing hovercrafts, and trying to outsmart a bunch of super-aggressive guys with buckets on their heads, all in the hope of making it back to Earth in time for his Mom's spaghetti carbonara. The second epic chapter in the critically acclaimed Action Tank series, this is a fast-moving, galaxy-spanning adventure about discovery, friendship, and what you're really capable of. Winner of a 2021 Comic Arts of Australia Award!

Reviews
A truly exceptional use of the comic form. This is a big smile from end to end. --Ryan K Lindsay (Everfrost, Eternal, Beautiful Canvas) Mike's talent continues to astound me. If I didn't know what a gentle nerd he was, I'd be intimidated. --Nat Amoore (Secrets of a Schoolyard Millionaire, The Power of Positive Pranking, The Right Way to Rock) 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)
