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 comics, this book offers a complete re-telling of all The Tick's adventures in The City. Color illustrations throughout.

A Great Collection of The Tick,
By Mr. David S. Stairs (Granada Hills, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Tick: The Naked City (Paperback)
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!

Funny, but is it really for young adults?,

This review is from: The Tick: The Naked City (Paperback)
I was given this as a sort of 'gag' gift, since I was a fan of both the cartoon and the brief live action television show. I will say that this 'graphic novel' contains all the sly humor and off-kilter characters that appeared in other mediums. How can you resist that big blue guy and female characters named 'Oedipus'? Also, the whole ninja component was wonderfully satirical, and I loved Paul the Samurai with his 'killer loaf'.

Forget the Young Adult category, this is for everyone!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tick: The Naked City (Paperback)
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.
