The Tick's Giant Circus of the Mighty

In this 1992–1993 New England Comics miniseries, Ben Edlund, Clay Griffith, and Dave Garcia send the blue-suited, nigh-invulnerable hero and his sidekick Arthur into a bizarre carnival of super-powered oddities. Edlund, Garcia, and Alan Hopkins bring a manic, cartoonish energy to the art, capturing the absurdity of a traveling "Circus of the Mighty" where the line between spectacle and menace is delightfully blurred. A short but essential chapter in the Tick mythos, it showcases the series' signature blend of deadpan superhero parody and surreal humor.
