    Tick Big Xmas Trilogy (2002) 1

    The Tick and his friends celebrate Christmas this year in blazing style with a three-issue Tick Christmas spectacular trilogy... and all three issues will ship on the same day! The covers, by fan-favorite Sean Wang, form a gorgeous panoramic three-part "triptych" and feature most of the heroes, villains, and supporting characters who have appeared in The Tick's 16-year history! Racked together, the three issues of The Tick's Big Xmas Trilogy are sure to be the most eye-catching covers on store racks in November and December! The story is appropriately "epic" for a three-part Christmas extravaganza! In it, the Tick, the Yuletide season's favorite son, discovers that the Christmas Spirit appears to be on the wane in The City this year. He decides to boost the supply of Christmas cheer by staging a Christmas Pageant, and getting everyone involved. Even The City's costumed super-villains agree to participate, although with Chairface Chippendale and The Terror highlighting the "evil cast," it may not just be seasonal good will at work! A saga too big for one comic ? heck, too huge even for two comics! ? The Tick's Big Xmas Trilogy is a tale of such breathtakingly epic scope that it requires three whole issues to relate ? which makes a lot of sense since it's a trilogy! #1?FC, 32pg $3.95 #2?FC, 32pg $3.95 #3?FC, 32pg $3.95 Cover price $3.95.

After a dramatic battle, The Tick escapes back to Earth through a handy inter-dimensional "portal." But unknown to the hero, with his return back to Earth, The Tick has unwittingly exposed his own universe to an all-powerful comic book force: "The Power of Full Color!" The Tick comes to realize exactly "how blue" he really is. His universe, along with everybody and everything in it, becomes fundamentally changed ? permanently!

    by Griffith, Crate, & Toyoshima Chairface Chippendale decides that the only way to stop The Tick is with another Tick. He figures two Ticks will both be so eager to confront the villain that they will obstruct and hinder each other, producing a situation of complete chaos! If two Ticks lead to chaos... four Ticks operating on the same planet will lead to complete anarchy ? the perfect situation for super-villainous success! And Chairface has the right weapon to use: the Devolution Materializer, which can make perfect duplicates of The Tick. Well, not quite perfect. The problem with the Devolution Materializer is that it makes "devolved" duplicates. That means the "Ticks" it produces are "devolved" versions of The Tick ? primitive, rough, crude, downright "uncivilized." How will a modern, civilized, couth Tick deal with his primitive, uncivilized, uncouth "devolved" copies? And what happens when other eager super-villains get their hands on the Devolution Materializer? Read the entire exciting story in The Tick's Big Year 2000 Spectacle #1! b&w, 32pg" Cover price $3.50.

    Osborn on Osborn HC (1982 Ticknor and Fields) 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st printing.

    Text and art by Robert Chesley Osborn. Foreword by Garry Trudeau.

    The drawings of Robert Osborn, one of America's most admired artists and satirists, have provided trenchant comment on the American scene for the past four decades. His keen intuitive sense, coupled with the distinctive line from his brush, has added a dimension to the happenings of our time.

    The ingredients of an Osborn drawing are, in various combinations, humor, indignation, motion, and satire -- not to mention artistry. Now, in this revealing book about himself, he shows what makes up the man and the artist.

    Combining a candid text, personal photographs, and a wealth of pictures, Osborn on Osborn is a striking retrospective of Osborn's total output, from his earliest efforts, to serious paintings, to the evolution of his own unique style.

    Osborn went from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to Yale, then to Europe to study art; and he suffered pangs of failure as a painter. Only after his Dilbert training-manual cartoons saved hundreds of lives during World War II did his capacities as a drawer begin to receive deserved recognition -- in such magazines as Harper's, Life, Look, Esquire, Vogue, Time and the New Republic, as well as in numerous newspapers and books.

    This is a man with strong loves and hates. He loves Matisse, Miro, Mozart, automobiles and airplanes, duck shooting and trout fishing. He hates war, smoking, Mussolini, and the deterioration of quality in America.

    This is also a man with a tremendous sense of enjoyment. Osborn writes as he draws -- with humor, compassion, and insight -- and his extraordinary personality and delight in life shine through this self-portrait.

    Hardcover, 9-in. x 11-in., 190 p[ages, PC/PB&W.
