Nobody knows where The Tick came from. He does not know either, and he has made peace with that. What he does know is that the city needs a hero, and he is very much a hero. Big, blue, and built like a refrigerator wearing spandex, The Tick showed up one day with absolute certainty in his heart and a battle cry that could rattle windows three blocks away.
Ben Edlund first drew The Tick in 1986 as a mascot for New England Comics. What started as a newsletter gag grew into a comic series that turned superhero conventions inside out and made readers laugh while doing it.
The Tick is not brooding or tortured. He just really, really wants to fight evil, and he finds the whole thing tremendously exciting.
Armed with his blue suit, twin antennae, and a gift for speeches at completely inappropriate moments, The Tick patrols the city alongside Arthur, his soft-spoken sidekick in a moth costume. Together, they take on villains so strange they could only exist in a world this good at laughing at itself. From the headless Chairface Chippendale to the ancient underworld mastermind known as The Terror, he charges at every threat with equal enthusiasm, unleashing his legendary battle cry: "SPOOOON!" Nobody knows why. He does not explain it.
