Dick Tracy #124

In "The Case of Oodles Hears Only Evil," a decades-old mystery resurfaces when a fragment of cloth uncovered beneath a crumbling bridge support leads to the discovery of a long-buried skeleton. As Dick Tracy and Sam trace the remains back to a forgotten disappearance, a terrified Mrs. Vulcan reaches out to Oodles—the man who once disposed of the body—and the two arrange a tense meeting to settle an old score. Written and illustrated by Chester Gould, this 1958 issue delivers a gripping, character-driven mystery with the signature detail and noir flair that defined the series. The cover by Chester Gould captures the story’s ominous tone with a stark, shadowed image of Oodles watching from the dark.
