By Anonymous. From its genesis on the Internet, this collection of strips spoofs the spoof as the first-ever parody of The Tick! Like The Tick's Big Internet Comic, NEC first ran these on their website, and now collects them into a real, live, hard copy! But wait, there's more! They've adding a whole new, never-before-seen Tick & Artie story! Tick & Artie features the antics of The City's Park's more miniscule members. Tick is, well, a real tick with delusions of being a super-hero. Guided by his trusty moth friend Artie (a real moth), Tick strives to protect weaker insects everywhere; to be a paragon of the exo-skeletal community; and to not eat the bugs he's trying to save! Who's this guy "Evil?" Find out in Tick & Artie #1! FC, 32pgs. Cover price $3.50.

NEC originally ran these strips on their website and now collects them into a real, live hard copy! But of course, there's more! They've added new, unpublished pages to the storyline; a new Tick & Artie: The Untold Tales two-page story; and a new "The High Cog Speaks" text page! The High Cog demonstrates the lengths he's going to in tracking down the Tick & Artie artist known only as "Anonymous"! What more would you want? 32 pages, full color. Cover price $3.95.
