Description

Shelby and her three best friends rule the streets of Brooklyn--and everyone in the neighborhood knows not to mess with the Sukeban Tribe. Inspired by the Japanese girl gangs of the 1970s, the teenagers ride scooters armed with golf clubs and cash from selling drugs, and terrorize their classmates, parents, and anyone who dares defy them. But when they attack a classmate who hasn't paid what she owes, things start to get messy--and not in the fun way.

Reviews

"If Quentin Tarantino picked up a pen and wrote a comic, Sukeban Turbo would probably be it. It has all his trademarks visual flair, mindless violence, mouthy characters, a twisty (and twisted plot), gratuitous cursing, and the satisfying crunch of a golf club to the head." -Major Spoilers
