About this item

THE CHROMA-TICK SPECIAL EDITION #1 - Published by New England Comics Press in February 1992, this is the first full-color collection of Ben Edlund's acclaimed indie series _The Tick_. This special edition marks a significant milestone for the character, presenting the previously black-and-white adventures of The Tick in full color for the first time. The 40-page collection features the iconic blue behemoth and his deadpan commentary on boredom and destiny, as seen in the interior pages where he contemplates his confined circumstances while nursing thoughts of grand purpose. The vibrant color work brings new life to Edlund's distinctive art style and satirical humor. Features include promotional cards, poster material, and bonus content. This edition represents an important stepping stone in _The Tick_'s journey from cult indie comic to mainstream recognition, eventually leading to animated series and wider media adaptations.
