The Tick series premiere TV billboards...

After Netflix resurrecting fan favourite shows like Full House and the Gilmore Girls, Amazon's streaming service is taking a turn and breathing new life into The Tick this August.

Ben Edlund's spoof superhero was created in 1986 as a newsletter mascot and spawned his own independent comic book, an animated cartoon series in 1994 which ran for three seasons and a short-lived live-action show which ran from 2001 to 2002 and garnered a cult following.

Now the blue-clad bug is back for more absurd televisual adventures with Peter Serafinowicz wearing the suit and Griffin Newman as his ordinary accountant sidekick 'Arthur'.

Living in a world where superpowers are real, the comedic costumed crusaders will take on villains and parody the very nature of superheroes.

The special extension cut-out billboard for The Tick was spotted along Sunset Boulevard on August 16, whilst the giant-sized version was spied further west along the Sunset Strip on August 19, 2017.

Meanwhile the fun antennae ad creative was snapped teasing his return along La Brea Avenue on August 22, 2017.

With the small screen saturated with super heroic fare these days, and comedy attempts like DC's Powerless failing to find a large enough audience on NBC, only time will tell whether this hero can make a spec-Tick-ular return to TV.

UPDATED: Here's also a special billboard with The Tick and Arthur bursting through high above Westwood Boulevard in West L.A. on August 26, 2017.

If you like this creative idea where the billboard hoarding is exposed in some way, make sure you also check out this Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them billboard, this billboard for The Angry Birds Movie, this explosive billboard for The Dark Knight Rises and this Goosebumps movie billboard.

In addition here's also a standard landscape billboard for The Tick above Wilshire Boulevard at San Vicente Boulevard the same day.

Plus another special extension cut-out with a different 'Big, blue & beyond' tagline high over Olympic Boulevard on the westside.

Plus here's another fun antennae billboard poking meta fun at streaming TV shows, snapped above Pico Boulevard on August 27, 2017.

Meanwhile this selection of street posters spotted along La Brea Avenue also illustrates some of The Tick's fun friend and rogues gallery.

Have you heroically binge-watched the first season yet? If not, why not?

UPDATED: Here's another fun billboard for The Tick, this time locally-tailored for Beverly Hills, and spotted at the intersection of La Cienega and Olympic Boulevards on September 8, 2017.

And here's an additional special extension cut-out spied near LAX at La Cienega and Century Boulevards on September 11, 2017.

UPDATED: Here are also billboards for the second half of the first season, with the giant version spotted along the Sunset Strip and the landscape billboard snapped along La Brea Avenue on January 31, 2018.

Don't despair if these all-new episodes are still not enough to satisfy your cravings, as a second season of The Tick has already been commissioned.

UPDATED: Here's also a collection of billboards for the second half of The Tick's first season on Amazon Prime spotted along Broadway in Manhattan between 51st and 52nd Streets.

Now that's how a quirky superhero and his sidekick makes a big impression in New York City.
