“The Case against Joe Period!”

From high above a yellow-streaked street, Chester Gould's cover for this 1958 Harvey issue drops us straight into the chaos: Dick Tracy looms large in the foreground, revolver in hand, as a masked figure in red and black tumbles through the air above him — while far below, officers scramble around a green vehicle in a tense street standoff. The cover copy asks it all: "One Chance in a Million! Will He Live to Escape?" — a question that perfectly captures the breathless energy Gould packs into every line. Priced at just a dime, Dick Tracy Comics Monthly #127 is a sharp reminder of why this square-jawed detective earned the title "World's Most Famous Detective.

Joe Period jumps from a third-floor apartment and cushions his fall by landing atop a parked car. He then leads Tracy and Sam on a chase through the city. Julie collapses, and TRracy realizes that she was hit by the bullet that killed her parakeet. Lizz tells Tracy that Julie is her sister. Lizz arrives at the hospital just in time to say a few words before her sister dies. Meanwhile, Joe Period finds himself lost in a maze of pipes in a building's service corridor.
