In "The Case of the Madman's Mask," Dick Tracy follows a chilling trail of murders where victims are found drowned—on dry land—leading him to a killer whose methods defy logic. With Sam Catchem’s help and an unlikely ally in bandleader Spike Dyke, Tracy sets a trap to unmask the criminal before the next deadly act. Written and drawn by Chester Gould, this 1957 classic showcases the masterful storytelling and sharp visuals that defined the series, with the cover by Gould capturing the tension in a single, striking image.
