Concept: Ben Edlund; -script: Terry Collins; Penciller: Dave Garcia; Inker: Rick Ketcham; Publisher: George Saurez; Art Director: Bob Polio; Systems: Dave Snyder; Inker: Dave Garcia I notice that the publishing date for this one is actually before issue 7, which I find immensely confusing. Oh, well... The plot is Tick becomes a TV star. The Tick is contacted by C-Spandex (a superhero cable TV network) and tries convince him to think that he will be the most marketable property ever! Appearance from El Flamingo.

I notice that the publishing date for this one is actually before issue 7, which I find immensely confusing. Oh, well... There doesnt seem to be a great amount of info on the plot of this one; though the Tick has to fight boredom.
