Yes, it’s true. The squeaky wheel does indeed get the grease or in the case of Dick Tracy collectors, a better quality publication. Dick Tracy Adventures is Gladstone Publishing’s response to the powerful cry of the famous “flat foot’s” avid fans for a higher-caliber publication. The result is a book with crisper reproduction qualities, more vibrant color, and more durable binding. Published bimonthly in a mini-graphic novel format, the book reprints entire storylines that formerly ran as a series of newspaper strips (for example, the story in the first issue originally ran from Feb. 1, 1942, through April 18, 1942).

Chock-full of action, excitement, and that famous gallery of rogue’s (Pruneface, Mumbles, and Little Face to name a few) that made the World War II era detective famous, Dick Tracy Adventures is the ultimate tribute to a newstrip that has unequivocally made cartoon history.
