Dick Tracy #27
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeHarvey Comics' Dick Tracy Comics Monthly #27 (1950) puts the square-jawed detective front and center in a tense rooftop standoff, his yellow trenchcoat unmistakable as he demands the flat-topped villain give himself up — only to be defied with a sharp "You'll never get me alive, Tracy!" In the background, two figures scramble across the scene while a companion looks on from below, making the cover by Joe Simon a genuinely gripping snapshot of cat-and-mouse pursuit. With Chester Gould's storytelling driving the "Flattop Escapes Prison" tale inside, this 1950 Harvey mystery hit delivers exactly the hard-boiled excitement the cover promises.
