Deadline was a British magazine published between 1988 and 1995. Created by comic artists Brett Ewins and Steve Dillon, it featured a mix of comic strips and written articles targeted at older readers, similar to the likes of Crisis, Revolver and Toxic! which also emerged during the genre's heyday. Much of the its non-cartoon content centred on alternative and indie music, and coupled with the subversive nature of many of the comic strips, the magazine had a distinctive counterculture ethos. It was most famous for being the original home of Jamie Hewlett's Tank Girl. Other notable strips included Wired World by Philip Bond, Hugo Tate by Nick Abadzis and Timulo by D'Israeli.

Owned and financed by Tom Astor (grandson of Nancy Astor) and latterly edited by Frank Wynne (a former editor of Crisis and subsequently translator of Michel Houellebecq), it published original material, and also ran reprints of American alternative comics such as Love and Rockets and Evan Dorkin strips such as Milk and Cheese. It enjoyed the patronage of those who wouldn't normally purchase comics and the support of several key bands of the time, with Blur making regular appearances in the Tank Girl strips and covers including Ride, Curve, Carter USM and the Senseless Things. However, the commercial failure of the Tank Girl film project and the crossing over of the alternative scene into the mainstream (around the time of Britpop, a movement it had helped to champion) saw the magazine eventually fold in 1995.
