The Tick #6
In "Villains Inc.", The Tick crashes a staged showdown between The Running Guy and The Red Scare, disrupting a power play that’s less about heroism and more about ego. Written and illustrated by Ben Edlund, with inks by Dave Garcia and letters by Bob Polio, this 1989 classic captures the series’ signature absurdity—where even villains have a day job. The cover, penciled by Edlund and inked by Garcia, perfectly captures the chaotic energy of the issue.
