Dick Tracy

A rare Platinum Age curiosity, this Dick Tracy turns up in the pages of Le Journal de Spirou — the beloved Belgian weekly published by Dupuis — debuting in its very first issue in 1938, as credited to Rob-Vel. With only a handful of catalog appearances across 1938–1939, this is a fleeting but historically fascinating presence, sharing those early pages with the likes of Spirou, Tif, and even Clark Kent. Collectors take note: one of those rare appearances carries key-issue status, making this a genuinely intriguing find for anyone drawn to the earliest days of European comics history.
