'Good. Since 1998'
As Wikipedia dutifully points out, this publication is ‘not to be confused with Tank, the magazine of the Royal Tank Regiment.’ If it's contemporary culture, fashion, art, architecture, technology and politics you're looking for, this would be the version to go for.
Tank has taken many forms and continues to carve a distinctive niche in a crowded genre and this latest edition is no different, with refreshed visuals and an uncharacteristically unstickered cover (not including the logo, which has indeed been manually stuck on).
Significantly, this is also their 100th since the mag hit shelves way back when in 1998, themed The Evil Issue which features everything from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and French cults, to Paddington Bear and malevolent goats. Tag yourself.
