2007 THE TICK SAN DIEGO COMIC CON T-SHIRT ARTWORK BY ARTHUR SUYDAM

2007 THE TICK SAN DIEGO COMIC CON T-SHIRT ARTWORK BY ARTHUR SUYDAM. What happens when you assemble over 30 different comic creators and give them creative freedom to present The Tick the way they see him!? You get The Tick's 20th Anniversary Special Edition #1! To make The Tick's 20th Anniversary Special Edition #1 truly special New England Comics Press has gathered over two dozen of the finest comic writers and artists of today to help honor The Tick on his 20th birthday! Simon Bisley and Arthur Suydam share the cover duties with their stunning individual cover renditions of The Tick. The print run will be split equally between the "Bisley Edition" and the "Suydam Edition" and a separately released third limited variant cover will be graced with a Bisley "sketch version"! As the "piece de resistance", and for the first time in many years, Ben Edlund will contribute 3 ORIGINAL PAGES featuring his famous creation!

 

As for the stories, the creators were each asked to to write and draw a one page (in some special cases, 2 pages) Tick short tale as if they had total control over the character... and yes indeed they do! The styles of these varied and talented artists range from the super-heroic all the way through the "alternative" world of comics. In addition to these stories we've included many Tick-related articles such as"Arachnida by Ben Edlund", "The History of the Tick as I Know It", "The High Cog Speaks" and the "2006 San Diego Comic-Con Report". If all that isn't enough, we've added the complete creator index/bio pages that includes photos (or illustrations) of each of the contributors in this issue! Black T-Shirt by Gildan Ultra Cotton.

September 2, 1996 People Magazine and The Tick

The Tick makes it onto People Magazine on September 2, 1996. A short article about Saturday Morning's Latest Hit on Fox 11:30 a.m. The Tick, in a manner of all cartoon superheroes, has a strong jaw, a zest for doing good and his name in the title. Mentally, though, he's on another planet -- a dim, distant one. Charging into action, this child in a superman's body can think of no mightier rallying cry than "Spoon!" The smartly silly animated series is crammed with 100 other nutty characters, including Die Fledermaus, a bat-suited prettyboy who likes to hand out glossies of himself. Explaining the show's appeal to both adults and kids, Ben Edlund who created The Tick as a comic book in 1988, shrugs: "Why don't we call it a zany romp?"

STATUS: No girlfriend. No alter ego, even.

FUN FACT: In the first season, Mickey Dolenz, the Monkee, was the voice of The Tick's sidekick Arthur. Arthur is an accountant in a moth suit.

TRUE CONFESSION: Edlund's first version of The Tick had him dressed in brown shag. "Then I thought, 'Superman wears blue, Spiderman wears blue,'" Edlund says. "Blue just works better when you're a superhero."
