THE CHICKS ARE BACK! CELEBRATING FEARLESS AND FEARSOME FEMALES.

Stories inspired by the classic Chicks in Chainmail series!

A boy and his dog. A girl and her tank. Tropes have been with us throughout all of history. Any girl would gladly trade in her skimpy armor for a tank. While a little bit of chainmail can take a chick far, heavy armor can take one even farther.

Besides, what's not to love about Chicks in Tank Tops? From pure near-future military science fiction to Pride and Prejudice with zombies, AI tanks, and true love!
