In this gripping installment of Dick Tracy, the legendary detective races to track down Flattop, who’s vanished into the city’s underbelly after a soot-streaked escape from a chimney. With a trail of chaos left in his wake—from a huckster set ablaze to a beaten actor forced into disguise—Tracy and Patton must piece together the clues before Flattop strikes again. Written by Joe Simon and Chester Gould, with art and inks by the duo, and a cover by Chester Gould, this 1950 issue delivers classic noir suspense in crisp, hard-edged detail.
