About 6 months ago I was invited to participate in a big, fat, Special Issue comic book, celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Ben Edlund's popular superhero-parody series "The Tick".
The idea was to get a long list of different comic book artists and writers together and have everybody do their own one-page story about this character.
So I wrote, drew, and colored this little one-page gag about The Tick rescuing a couple of teenagers from a haunted house... in The Tick's own, unique way of course!
I hear the book is out in stores now so I guess it's okay to post my page online. Besides, I seriously doubt that "giving away" my little one-page gag could possibly hurt sales or anything, when you have other folks like this involved:

Yeah, I bought that issue at MOCCA in New York and had it signed by Chris Reilly who was selling them at one of the tables/booths there. Great work, man! This was one of my favorite issues due to the enormous amount of artists and short stories it contains.
I miss that show.
Great page!
