Synopsis

The Tick is struck on the head with what looks to be a meteor but turns out to be sediment from Utah. Arthur and Tick have dinner with Art's sister, but their repast is interrupted by two goons shooting at them. After Man-Eating Cow lends a...uh...an udder in dispatching the villains, Tick decides that he and Arthur will leave for New York to fight real crime and leave their bovine companion to patrol The City in their stead.

Notes

Comic has at least 3 printings but only the 1st has an 8 page "Red Eye" comic insert, and is indexed here. 2nd and later printings are indexed under #8 [later printings].

The "No Logo" Variant is a first printing and contains the 8 page "Red Eye" comic insert. All cover text and logos are left off the cover except for the box explaining the 8 page "Red Eye" comic insert. West coast distributor "Destiny Distributors" included a note to the retailers explaining that the issue was a misprint affecting approximately 5% to 8% of the print run. This note also stated that the new suggested retail price was $3, rather than 2.25, although the issue itself does not display a price.
