The Tick Specials: The Complete Works

This ongoing series from New England Comics collects a variety of standalone Tick stories and specials, gathering one-shots and short runs that might otherwise be hard to find. Beginning in 2009, it serves as a showcase for the character’s signature absurdist humor and superhero parody, with the first issue featuring the creative team most associated with the Tick’s classic era. It’s a handy compendium for fans wanting a complete look at the blue-clad hero’s offbeat adventures.
