The Tick #8 [first printing]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "A Matter of Cosmic Import...And Other Stories...", The Tick—still reeling from a bizarre meteor strike that was actually Utah sediment—dines with Arthur and his sister, only to be interrupted by a pair of would-be assassins. With the help of Man-Eating Cow, who delivers a uniquely bovine solution to the threat, Tick decides it's time to leave the suburbs behind and head to New York to take on real crime, leaving their udder-equipped ally to guard The City. Written and illustrated by Ben Edlund, with inks by Dave Garcia and letters by Bob Polio, this 1990 issue features cover art by Edlund and Garcia.
In a story that’s equal parts absurd and oddly heartfelt, The Tick and Arthur find their quiet dinner interrupted by chaos—two goons, a man-eating cow with a surprisingly useful udder, and a mysterious meteor that’s really just Utah sediment. With the city in need of a new guardian, The Tick and Arthur make a bold decision to head to New York, leaving their bovine ally to protect The City in their stead. Tick reads.
