Tic Toc Tom: A blasts from the past!

:: Posted by max @ 12/29/2003 09:54:00 AM
Founded by Paul Marhue back in the early 90’s, Tic Toc Tom was one of the more interesting zine anthologies out of Toronto back in the day. 13 issues in mini format and 4 pamphlet sized issues, the book’s pages were filled with some great stuff to say the least. Including some of the first printed work by Jay Stephens! Those early pages by Jay along with the rest of the comix can all be read once aging, now that Paul & the gang have brought back the whole kit and kaboodle with promises of more to come on the new web comic version! Lots, I mean LOTS of stuff to see here. Current contributors include my old buddy Brett Feschuk, along with Karl Burst, Ken Gallant, Peter Macchione, Chetan Patel, & Tom Yeo.

TIC TOC TOM BLASTS BACK

Toronto, Canada - December 30, 2003 – After a 7 year absence, Tic Toc Tom resumes production in a free, web based format. Fans of the popular Toronto based comic zine, and internationally distributed comic book, can now look forward to the ongoing adventures of Tic Toc Tom and his partners in crime at www.tictoctom.com. And the Tic Toc Tom web site sticks close to its roots by providing a space for artists world wide, to contribute to the Tic Toc Tom universe.



In the 1990s, a Toronto based comic zine hit the stands. It immediately became an underground hit and pioneered the use of guerilla artists to develop the Tic Toc Tom character and universe. Over time, what started as a chronicle of the guy who ‘blew things up’ quickly developed into much more as artists were given free reign over their personal interpretations of the character.



The tradition continues with the unveiling of the new Tic Toc Tom web site. Not only will fans be able to access new material by the original creators, they can also enjoy vintage stories from the original twelve issue comic zines and the entire breadth of the three issue internationally distributed comic version. In addition, fans will also be able to read stories from the unpublished issue four.
