Owner's Description

New England Comics Newsletter Issue No. 14 The Tick's First Appearance New England Comic's Newsletter Issue 14 July-August 1986 This is the Official First Print Introduction of Ben Edlund's The Tick as seen in New England Comics Newsletter Issue No. 14, dated July-Aug, 1985. This Newsletter was distributed around Marvel's 25th Anniversary, as shown on this cover. This particular Newletter was acquired from the one and only William "Bill" Devine, Jr., once Editor of New England Comics. Bill is credited for The Tick Karma Tornado, Man-Eating Cow, and Paul the Samurai. I asked him if he could share anything about this item and here is what he had to say, "...I worked on a number of early newsletters and NEC catalogs as an independent contractor when I had a graphic design and printing business, I designed the cover logo and handled the printing of the early newsletters...Glad to hear that the package arrived in good order and that you are pleased with them. Thanks for your interest, best regards, Bill."

Thanks again Bill for this Most Excellent First Appearance Issue of The Tick! For many of us it is the Holy Grail of The Tick Collectible Items and it has found a place here at The Tick Museum! You can find other items from Bill on Ebay under American-Record.
