For anyone new to collecting Tick comics check out TickComics.com.  It's just a list of all the Tick comics that have been printed.  It is NOT a retail site nor does it even give values to the comics - it' just a complete list with notes.  (I try to work closely with New England Comics to keep it as accurate as possible)

NEC didn't create a comic book for FCBD this year :-(  ...Or if they did, it hasn't been released as of yet.  But since someone posted the photo of the would-be comic book... this image might be of interest to some of you.

@Dr. DankYou're welcome.  The site originally started out to be a personal check list of what I had.  As I was getting more serious with my collection I found myself buying stuff I already had.  So I made the site to track my collection so that no matter where I was I could check to see if I had a certain comic.  I spent about a year and a half on it before it got noticed by NEC.  Then it sort of morphed into what it is today.  They have been kind enough to provide some of the tidbits of information on the comics (...when they can remember them.  Seriously, I wouldn't remember much about what I did 30 years ago either)  But I am very grateful for their assistance.  They have always been very kind to me.
The TickComics.com site is now up to date (as of today).  I was missing some of the 2019 comic cons and any 2020 comics.

Well, I used to be a web programmer back when the dot com era was still growing.  The plus side: I hand code all my websites from scratch so I have total control over them.  The not-so-plus side... my sites look awesome... for the mid 1990s.  Turns out, a few other people like the Tick as much as me and appreciate it so I try to keep it up.  And NEC seem to like it :-)
 

Your website's proven to be a super handy and helpful guide to growing my small Tick collection; thanks bunches Brian!! I've already manage to gather (almost) all of the first edition issues of the original Edlund run.
Also it's been a while since I last posted here but I recently did my own arrangement of the theme tune from the animated series! Check it out!!

I'm about a year and a half behind, but hope to have it up to date within a few days.  I got busy last year... We adopted two sisters.  (ages 8 and 10)  The 10 year old has already read the original Edlund Tick comics and commonly makes references to some of the jokes/lines she's read.  :-)  Just doing my best to pass on the interest to the next generation.

"Ashcan" editions were originally photocopies of the comic book used during the editing phase of creating a comic book.  When you were done with them, they where thrown in the trash, or ashcan.  I'm not sure when they became collectible but at some point New England Comics saw a value in them and "printed" (photocopied) some of them and sold them.  They only did this for a very few of their issues.  On the first two issues of The Tick, back in 1988, NEC also made some and sent them out (pre-production) to distributors to send to other comic book shops to determine if there was a marked for the comic or not.  I have one of these (I may have two ...now that I have kids I am a little less organized).  If you're interested in the Tick and his line of comics I have a website that is up to date as of last summer.  It doesn't list values or try to sell you anything.  It's just a complete collection of cover photos - including any variant covers, and when possible, a little bit of information about each comic.  http://www.TickComics.com
