  The Tick is still going strong, after almost 30 years (he debuted in 1988). He has had a cartoon series, a short-lived live action series, and has appeared in close to 100 comics over the years, including 6 FCBD comics with all new stories. A cool thing NEC is doing is offering to send readers copies of any (or all) of the previous 5 FCBD issues for free, as long as you pay the price of postage (by sending a SASE while supplies last). A great offer for fans of the big blue arachnid. I think I'm safe in saying these comics are the only ticks that most people would want to have around the house. This issue gives readers 29 pages of Tick (and Arthur) that are a fairly good representation of the character in all his silliness, and it's all ages friendly. If you're a fan of The Tick or just want to see what he's all about, this FCBD comic is a good place to start. Read Full Review
