Owner's Description

The Tick Black and Red Promo Comic Experiment (1st Edition 1990) This 16-page two-color'ashcan' was released in 1990 as an experiment in low cost comics. Well the experiment sorta failed but it did leave us with one of the rarest Tick comics!
Greetings and salutations to all our friends, We would like to apologize to those of you who have waited patiently for the "surprise" we promised for sending in your 1990 NEC survey. At least your patience has been rewarded! Enclosed you will find a rare "TEST ISSUE" of THE TICK. This special 16-page trial version was prepared in response to feedback we got from our survey question regarding possible future formats for THE TICK. So whadday think, hmmm? This "proto-TICK" is being sent only to respondents to the NEC Survey. While the total print run of this item is technically "top secret", we can tell you here that the number of existing copies is lower than virtually any other Tick comic book. (I'm guessing less than 500 based on cgcforum) We shudder to think what the Price Guide value of the "proto-Tick" will someday be! Mind-boggling, no doubt... We hope this make you feel mighty special, and well you might--not only for your invaluable assistance and contribution to the NEC Survey, but also for your unswerving devotion to comicdom's favorite arachnid! Also enclosed is the limited edition commemorative button, with which you may broadcast to the world that you, amonst few, survived the NEC 1990 Survey. We hope that you can stand all of this excitement in one sitting! So from all of us at NEC to all of you, we say thanks again and hope that we can continue to thrill and delight you in the months ahead. Yours until comicdom's first favorite arachnid cracks under the strain of competition, New England Comics. (Letter sent with this promo ashcan comic).
