The Tick Universe

The Tick is the creation of Ben Edlund, a truly comic superhero. Published by New England Comics, the character swiftly became a cult favourite. He and his sidekick Arthur, along with a slew of their friends and enemies, made it onto TV a few years later when a Tick cartoon was launched. It proved to be a huge success, running for three seasons, and with many of the episodes written by Edlund, which allowed it to retain the quirky humour that had made the comic a hit. In 2001 a short lived live action TV series debuted on the Fox Network. With the different incarnations of the character, and the kooky universe he lives in, there have been more superheroes and villains turn up than I can possibly hope to do justice to here on my site. Instead I've tried to cover the main ones; if you want more information then I heartily recommend this Tick homepage or The Ticklopedia, where I cribbed much of my information from to start with
