Wanted to share one of my personal collection grails here...thought you all would appreciate.

 

 

Wow...thought I was de-throwned there for a second.  Glad to share the high point!

$136 delivered. Looking at GPA I probably paid about market prices. 

Right on.  I have my eyeball on one that's CGC graded 9.6 and up on auction at Heritage Auction that sells on Sunday.  The grade is higher than what I have in my Registry and I think my highest is 9.2 which they gave me a lousy score for.  I think, they'll bumped me up a few hundred points if I can get it...of course my price limit is probably gonna be 250.00 max, things are a little tight around here being rent week and all.  Nice score BTW.

Picked this one up off of eBay for a pretty good price (I hope). 
 

Okay, you aroused my curiosity.  How much did you score on this gem?

Hi there! I'm new to this forum altogether. The Tick's awesome - I've been peripherally aware of the comics and TV adaptions for years but never really got invested until the middle of the pandemic. Every iteration is great fun and hilarious, and perfectly caters to the audience of its time (and my own niche nerdy interests haha). In a world where Marvel and DC dominate the mainstream for superhero comics, I think the Tick's definitely become my favorite!

Anyway I animated this brief clip back in November for fun after the "All the Ticks" virtual event; I thought you guys might appreciate it!  

 

Dang!  That was awesome!  How long did that take you to put that together?  

The Tick and Chairface Chippendale Print by Matthew Skiff 2020

This is a Screenprint that is 18” x 24” and it was signed by Matthew Skiff and numbered No. 20 of a limited edition of 50.  We were visiting Gallery 1988 on Melrose Avenue and I just knew that I had to have it!  Ever get that feeling yourself?  Matthew Skiff was premiered at the Gallery between June 17 thru July 9, 2016 with an Exhibit that was titled “Best Friends” celebrating couples like She-Ra and Hordak, Duke and Cobra Commander, Donatello and Baxter Stockman from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!  I remember catching a show called Weird Al with artwork and prints available a couple years back ago, but I digress.  Here is a little more about Matthew Skiff himself…

Geez dude, I am envious!  

I just got this in the mail.  It had the following description, but I think there were just a couple minor mistakes.  "THE TICK: Flag 5 Memorial Large Flag This was from Season 1 in AEGIS headquarters. The only Flag 5 Memorial Large Flag available from the show. This item is 54 x 48 inches."

Found this recently and wanted to get an idea on scarcity and value. Not for sale. 
 

Issue 2
"High Rise Hijinx"
Special edition, die-cut cover, stamped with a serial number from 1 to 3000, released June 1988. First edition released September 1988.
Ben Edlund, Writer & Penciller; Max Banks, Inker; Bob Polio, Art Director; George Suarez, Editor & Publisher.
Clark Oppenheimer reports, late, for his job at the newspaper. Meanwhile the Tick dons a tie and purse as a secret identity, Mr. Nedd. The Tick obtains a job as a crossword editor at the Weekly World Planet. While snooping in Clark's desk, he inadvertently reveals a message from Clark's father and builds his "fortress of fortitude." Clark takes the Tick aside and explains that he is the protector of the City, which the Tick disputes. The Tick is fired from the newspaper. On his way out, he leaves a gift for Clark by molding his car into an oversized ashtray. Clark, understandably upset by this development, attacks the Tick who defeats Clark by breaking his disguise (his glasses).
The parallels between Clark Oppenheimer and Superman continue, when the Tick inadvertently unleashes a message from Clark's father, Ban-Al, and identifies him as Marlon Brando, who played Jor-El in the 1978 Superman movie.
The 1st edition of The Tick 2 was released with a die-cut cover: a small square window revealing the Tick from the first page. A mistake in the production resulted in a rare number of issues (less than 200) without the diecut being released.
Second edition released March 1989. Third edition released June 1989. Fourth edition released December 1989. Fifth edition released July 1991. Sixth edition released January 1995. Special Edition Reprise with same cover as the Special Edition with a second wrap cover and serially numbered 3001-8000, July 1996. Seventh, 10th anniversary edition, released August 1996. Eighth edition released March 1998.
