The Tick: The Complete Edlund

The Tick: The Complete Edlund (2017–present, New England Comics) is a single-issue comic that collects Ben Edlund's earliest, foundational Tick stories, originally self-published before the character found wider fame. It serves as a definitive archive of the hero's raw, satirical debut, showcasing the offbeat humor and superhero parody that defined the series from the start. Essential for understanding the blue-clad insect's origins, this issue captures the pure, unpolished voice of creator Ben Edlund.
