Gargles

Gargles made their entrance in the world of Chester Gould's iconic detective universe with Dick Tracy #2 in 1985, a Bronze Age addition to one of comics' most celebrated crime-fighting franchises. Published by Blackthorne, this character inhabits a richly populated world alongside beloved figures like Dick Tracy himself, B.O. Plenty, Sparkle Plenty, and the unforgettable Breathless Mahoney. With appearances spread across both Dick Tracy and The Original Dick Tracy, Gargles may have a compact catalog footprint, but any character woven into Gould's gloriously grotesque rogues' gallery is worth a second look for fans who love their comics with a hard-boiled edge.
