Plenty, and Sparkle Plenty, as well as the villainous Gargles. The book continues the gritty crime-fighting legacy of Chester Gould's iconic strip, presenting a selection of storylines from the mid-20th century in a collected format.
In "Put me down, you big oaf!", Dick Tracy faces a twisted trap set by the cunning Heels Beals, only to be rescued by the unexpected Pat Patton. With Beals holed up in a colossal advertising bottle and the city on edge, Diet Smith and Brilliant team up to launch a revolutionary TV burglar alarm—until a masked intruder strikes during a public demo, leading to tragedy and the sudden resignation of Chief Brandon. Written and illustrated by the legendary Chester Gould, this 1987 issue delivers sharp pacing and classic noir tension, with Mike Kelley’s cover capturing the story’s high-stakes drama.
