The Tick New Series

A revival of Ben Edlund's beloved creation, The Tick New Series ran for eight issues from 2009 to 2011, published by New England Comics. Artist Les McClaine brought his clean, dynamic style to the big blue hero's latest adventures, continuing the absurdist, spoof-heavy tone that defines the character. This series matters as a key chapter in the Tick's modern comic-book history, bridging the gap between his earlier cult-favorite runs and later media appearances.
