In 1986, eighteen year old cartoonist Ben Edlund created The Tick as a mascot for a newsletter of the Norwood, Massachusetts store New England Comics. Edlund expanded this into stories, beginning with the three-page Origin Story The Tick in New England Comics Newsletter #14–15 (July/August – September/October 1986), in which the eccentric hero escaped from a mental institution.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In June 1988, it was released in an independent, recurring black-and-white comic series. Arthur was introduced in The Tick #4 (April 1989). Edlund would ultimately pen 12 issues, with the last one ending on a Cliffhanger. New England Comics Press went on to publish several comic series featuring the characters with varying creative teams. They transitioned to color in 2001.The comic became popular enough to spin off three TV series, one animated and two live-action. | |

Beware the Silly Ones | |
| The Tick (Comic Book) / int_6c75e0e4 | comment |
Beware the Silly Ones: What happens when The Tick sees Oedipus stabbed. He violently, quietly, swiftly, and possibly lethally takes out the two ninjas who did it, and he proceeds to completely destroy their lair, which was the size of (and technically was) an amusement park. | |

| The Tick (Comic Book) / int_c70aceaa | comment |
Baguette Beatdown: Paul the Samurai in the comics. A ever-so-slightly more realistic take, because he hid a sword in it to sneak it past customs. | |

'90s Anti-Hero: Several of the heroes hanging out in the Comet Club are parodies of this trope, including Big Shot who became a minor character in the cartoon. | |

Art Evolution | |
| The Tick (Comic Book) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: MASSIVE case, since the comic began life as the amateur work of a teenager. The original shorts aren't unreadably bad or anything, but they're notably rougher than the comic series itself, and the lettering was done via typewriter. | |
