The Original Dick Tracy

    (Gladstone, 1990-1991)
™ and ©1990 Tribune Media Services, Inc.

Chester Gould’s famous police detective with the razor-sharp chin returns to the comics in this series from Gladstone. Also present is Gould’s customary practice of pointing out the 2-way wrist radio and other elements in the story with tiny arrows and type, as though the reader might not realize their significance. This is a 64-page book that reprints an entire storyline from the newspaper comic strip. This comic features all the macabre and bizarre villains like Pruneface, Itchy, Gargles and his unlikely named allies as well as friends like Tess Trueheart, Pat Patton, and Sam Catchem. It gives readers, too young to have read the original adventures, the opportunity to experience the brutal, often violent world of Dick Tracy.
