Ben Edlund is a comic book artist and writer. He created his signature character The Tick when he was 17, and was given the chance to do a full comic based on the character by New England Comics, when the publisher needed a new title fast, based on a production mix-up. Edlund drew the popular character while majoring in film at the Massachusetts College of Art. The Tick has since been featured in animation on Fox TV, The Cartoon Network and in various toy and merchandising deals.

In the late '90s, Edlund collaborated with indie German Expressionist film-maker Lisa Hammer and her husband E.A. Hammer on the film Crawley. In the early '00s he was employed by Joss Whedon at Mutant Enemy, first on Firefly and then later on the final season of Angel, writing and directing the Hugo Award nominated episode Smile Time. Edlund is currently working on the animated series The Venture Bros. on Cartoon Network with E.A. Hammer.
