The Tick: Circus Maximus

    (NEC, 2000)
™ and © 1999 Ben Edlund

One word can describe the Tick: funny. It is that plain and simple and that word goes a long way to describing the irreverent creation of Ben Edlund. Serving as an updated version of the 1991 series The Tick’s Giant Circus of the Mighty, Circus Maximus contains hundreds of entries on characters, issues, storylines, and more. Some of the most obscure and bizarre Tick characters can be found here, including entries on Johnny Wingless’s Socially Acceptable Robot Body, Disco Bat, Whitebread, and the Hero Zombies! As an added bonus the reprinted art from earlier Tick adventures comes from artists like Zander Cannon (ABC Comics’ Top Ten) and Michael Avon Oeming (Powers, Hammer of the Gods). A must-have for the Tick enthusiast!
