The Tick's Massive Summer Double Spectacle

In the summer of 2000, New England Comics unleashed two oversized issues of The Tick's Massive Summer Double Spectacle, a brief but characteristically bombastic outing for the blue-suited, nigh-invulnerable hero. Written and drawn by series creator Ben Edlund, these issues deliver the trademark absurdist humor and over-the-top action that defined the Tick's comic-book adventures. Though a short run, it stands as a pure, concentrated dose of Edlund's manic superhero satire from the turn of the millennium.
