Rebecca Bagley’s steampunk fable Tick is a 36-page colour small press comic. Its starting point centers on a new homeowner’s discovery of a curious, kettle-headed, mechanical creature hidden away in the house she has just purchased. Obviously sentient, but forlornly uncommunicative, it soon becomes obvious that this hi-tech-yet-retro homunculus’ original function has been lost to the mists of time.
TICK now is heralded as being one of 10 of the “best” small press books of 2012, as proclaimed by Andy Oliver (contributor to Paul Gravett’s "1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die") in his weekly column SMALL PRESSGANGED.
