Dick Tracy #131

Harvey's "World's Most Famous Detective" takes on a haunting case in this February 1959 issue, with cover art by Joe Simon depicting a panicked criminal in mid-flight as a spectral, ghostly figure clings to him — the tagline "Haunted by His Crime!" making the psychological tension vividly clear. Dick Tracy himself pursues from the background, yellow-hatted and determined, with a helicopter looming overhead to cut off any escape. With a "Complete Inside Detective Case" and even a Special Xmas Toy Section tucked inside, this is a nicely packed installment from Chester Gould's long-running crime series.
