Who is Flattop?
Flattop made their debut in the pages of Sad Sack Comics #4 back in 1950, a genuine Golden Age creation from the talented George Baker, and has gone on to share ink with some of the most iconic names in crime comics — Dick Tracy, Pruneface, Tess Trueheart, and the rest of that hard-boiled cast. With appearances stretching across an remarkable 75-year span under the Harvey banner and a home primarily in the Dick Tracy series, this character has proven surprisingly durable for a Golden Age figure. Twelve catalog appearances may sound modest, but for fans who love the gritty, atmospheric world of classic crime comics, Flattop is a name worth tracking down.
