    Official Tick Appreciation Thread

    Welcome to collecting Tick comic books!  It turns out that the first image (??? 2007) was never an official comic book cover. Someone got a hold of a pre-production mock-up image of what the comic book might be like.  I'm assuming it came from NEC.  The actual cover released is the one I show here.  The middle comic was limited to a printing of 200.  The comic you're looking for was limited to 250.  They show up on eBay once in a while.  That's probably one of the best places to keep your eyes on.  I don't have one to spare at the moment but if I come across one I'll let you know.  Another forum member was willing to part with the original cover art for that comic so I'm exited to have it in my collection.

    I haven’t seen one on eBay since 2017 when I first became aware of the con exclusives.

    I’ll have to consult your checklist but I’m pretty certain it’s the only Tick issue I am missing (I don’t have the ambition for the super rare stuff haha, so kudos to you guys) and that has been pretty frustrating.

    I do find the whole “numbered” thing puzzling, as many of the con exclusive regular and sketch covers appear to have unnumbered populations...meaning there are definitely more than just the “250” claimed. Just seems a bit counterintuitive to me...

    1) I'll be at SDCC this year.  (It's my first Comic Con!)  Does anyone have any of the above comics they would be willing to sell.  I could get them from you at the con if you're going to be there (or via mail if you're not)

    2) If anyone has a Tick want list let me know.  I can go through my collection to look for dups I am willing to part with.  (again, we could meet at SCDD or I could mail them)

    3) For those attending... Anyone interested in trying to have a Tick fan meet up?

    Excited that I stumbled across this thread, there really ARE others out there like me!

    If anyone has an extra 2015 SDCC exclusive edition (pictured in top right of Brian’s post) they’d be willing to part with, please reply here or via DM.

    Thanks!
