Biography

BEN EDLUND created The Tick, a satirical comic book about a pompous superhero that wears muscle-accentuating blue tights. The comic became a cult favorite following its debut in 1988. In 1992 The Tick materialized as a popular Saturday morning animated series on Fox and, later, Comedy Central. Edlund currently is working on a live-action series version of the phenomenon, which will debut next season on Fox. Barry Sonnenfeld (Men In Black) directed the pilot, and Patrick Warburton ('Putty' on "Seinfeld") takes on the title role.
