The Tick's Big Father's Day Special

In this 2000 one-shot from New England Comics, The Tick's Big Father's Day Special delivers a standalone, holiday-themed adventure starring the big blue hero and his sidekick Arthur. Written and drawn by series creator Ben Edlund, this issue captures the absurd, deadpan humor that defined the original Tick comics. A brief but welcome return to the character's comic roots, it matters as a fun, self-contained celebration of the Tick's unique brand of superheroic father-figure energy.
