Rick and Morty is an American comic book series written by Zac Gorman (volumes 1–2), Kyle Starks (volumes 3–12), and Alex Firer (volumes 13–14) and illustrated by Marc Ellerby, based on the television series of the same name. Oni Press published the original series across 60 issues from April 1, 2015, until March 25, 2020.[1][2][3][4] Using the television series' established premise of alternate timelines, the first two volumes expressly follow the Rick and Morty of a different dimension (C-132) on the "Central Finite Curve" than the protagonists of the television series so-as not to contradict its continuity, before the series switches focus over to the same Rick (C-137) and Morty of the television series following the "Head-Space" arc (#12–14) in the third volume, featuring sequel storylines to specific episodes of the series, with elements of the comic series and references to its events later being incorporated into the television series.[5] Backup stories of the series alternate between focusing on Rick (C-137) and his Morty and various Ricks and Mortys from alternate dimensions, before the primary storyline switches focus over to yet another Rick and Morty at an unspecified point before/during the final volume of the series.[6] In October 2022, a revival of Rick and Morty was announced for a January 2023 release date, spinning out of the limited series Rick's New Hat, from the same new creative team.

1The Wubba Lubba Dub Dub of Wall Street, Part One / Summer Spectacular, Part OneApril 1, 2015[8]978-2-8112-2978-8
Rick decides to put Jerry to shame by making a ridiculous amount of money with a clueless Morty's help. The two use a device which merges dimensions to successfully pull off the scheme, but they are tracked by a "time detective" named Professor Tock; he convinces a distraught Jerry to give them up to the Time Police, and, after a lengthy standoff, Rick and Morty are arrested.
In the not-too-distant future, Summer has become an action hero, and saves a bank from a heist.
2The Wubba Lubba Dub Dub of Wall Street, Part Two / Summer Spectacular, Part TwoMay 13, 2015[9]978-2-8112-2978-8
Sentenced to life in the horrifying Clackspire Labyrinth, Rick and Morty wander the seemingly endless maze, which Rick himself built and stocked with provisions, in the event he was ever imprisoned within his creation. After a long span of time, while being pursued by a monster, Rick opens a panel in a wall, leading them to a room holding a portal machine. As the portal has only enough power to transport one person, Rick shoves Morty through it, trapping himself in the maze. Meanwhile, Jerry is exiled to the basement for incriminating both Rick and Morty, but he knocks over a glass jar and releases an alien creature into the house.
3The Wubba Lubba Dub Dub of Wall Street, Part Three / Rick and Morty in: Adventure to an Alternate Universe!June 17, 2015[10]978-2-8112-2978-8
The issue continues from the events of the previous installment, in which Rick condemned himself to the Clackspire Labyrinth to save Morty, and Jerry moving into the basement to escape Beth's fury, knocked over a glass containment unit belonging to Rick. Freed from the now-broken containment unit, its occupant, a Class-Two clonerbeast, infiltrates the Smith house in Rick's absence, creating confusion and threatening to destroy the family.
4The Wubba Lubba Dub Dub of Wall Street, Part Four / An Interlude With JerryJune 22, 2015[11]978-2-8112-2978-8
Rick takes Morty to a planet on which he has built a plantation, taken in a large number of war refugees, and invited them to work for him. Rick asks Morty to infiltrate the workers' camp and determine whether or not they are plotting to revolt against him. When Morty does join the workers, gaining the trust of a girl named Daphna, he discovers that Rick himself started the war which drove the refugees to his planet, to the end that he might create an influx of cheap labor. The revelation leads Morty to halfheartedly join the workers' riot, but as events begin to play out, he regrets not taking his side.
5Morty and Rick in: Mort-Balls! / Introducing...Beth and the Beths!August 19, 2015[12]978-2-8112-2978-8
Morty finds himself with Rick at Camp Camperson, a summer camp. However, the world in which Morty exists becomes more and more disjointed and odd as time passes, leading Morty to question his reality and bringing him into contact with an old friend.
Beth C-132 is revealed to be a member of "Beth and the Beths", a punk rock band formed with interdimensional duplicates of herself, serving as its drummer. After a brawl breaks out, Beth realises she is late and returns to her dimension with Rick's portal gun, returning it to its rightful place. After Jerry asks her how "book club" went, Beth shadow-beats drums while humming.

Deep in a faraway jungle, the freedom-loving Ball Fondlers execute an undercover operation intended to rescue an imprisoned United States senator from a martial oligarchic movement base, but the mission goes off the rails when they are discovered, calling for desperate measures.

Finding themselves cornered by a hulking assassin, they are saved from him by an adult version of Summer.

He bumps into a teenage girl named Melody, who offers to bring him home to spend Blumbus with her family, mistaking him for an orphan.

Beth was able to console an upset horse owner, and inspire her new boss to keep St Equis open with one exquisite speech. But then the police arrived. content warning: blood, gun violence... "The Most Important Lesson" is a brief interlude with Rick and Morty and the importance of condoms.
