The Tick #10
In "Some Obstacles and a Partial Resolution," The Tick and Arthur hit the road after defeating the Chainsaw Vigilante, only to find that the Tick’s meteor is home to tiny, unexpected passengers. When Arthur picks up a suspicious hitchhiker named Red Eye, the Tick’s attempts to drive him away turn increasingly absurd—until the pair are captured by the bizarre, science-obsessed villagers of Monolith, Kentucky, who have a very particular interest in their new guests. Written and illustrated by Ben Edlund, with inks by Dave Garcia and lettering by Bob Polio, the cover by Ben Edlund and Dave Garcia captures the story’s offbeat, high-stakes absurdity.
