The Tick: The Naked City

by Ben Edlund and Edlund

Bulging muscles, immense jaw, and a battle cry of "Spoon!"--it's none other than The Tick, a strange and seemingly invulnerable force for good in the world. A thoroughly enjoyable parody of superhero... This description may be from another edition of this product.

A Great Collection of The Tick

Even if you do not like comics, you will enjoy this. It tells the tale of a mysterious blue stranger who breaks out of a mental asylum to fight crime. Joined by his sidekick Arthur, the duo face many strange people and adventures in the good fight. Reprinting the orginal series' 1st 6 issues, it's an enjoyable, offbeat experience for both kids and adults.Spoon!

Forget the Young Adult category, this is for everyone!

I'm not into the comic book scene, but there's something irresistible about the Tick (and Arthur and the others). There's nothing complex about the Tick, and I think that's what appeals to me. You can just sit back and laugh your butt off. Don't miss the spin-off characters who have their own collections, especially Man-Eating-Cow.

SO FUNNY!!!

You will laugh your socks off!!

Read this and laugh

I discovered this book and the TV show by accident and boy am I glad! The pseudo-superheroes that inhabit The City are almost as funny as The Tick himself and tend to hinder more than help matters. You'll love all the word plays and obscure references to pop culture that are rampant. I almost assure you that you won't stop laughing the entire time you're reading. SPOON

An ode to a great comic book.

This book reminds me of a time when I was a child, growing up infront of the T.V. I remember watching in awe at the superheroes and wishing that some day I would grow up to be just like them. Now, by reading this book, it brings back the memories of my childhood and what happy times they were. You too can recapture your childhood by reading "The Tick: The Naked City". Live life to the fullest, read the book.
