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!
