Dick Tracy #128
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeChester Gould's Dick Tracy takes on youth crime in this 1958 Harvey Comics issue, with the cover promising "The Case Against the Juvenile Delinquent!" The square-jawed detective stands coolly in the foreground, badge in hand, while behind him a red-haired boy sculpts a face from modeling clay and a gun-toting figure tumbles dramatically through a window above. It's a snapshot of mid-century crime-comics storytelling at its most vivid, with Gould's clean, expressive linework doing all the heavy lifting.
