Dick Tracy #39

In "Captured by Itchy," Dick Tracy finds himself trapped in the trunk of a squad car after a daring escape by Tess, only to be taken by the cunning criminal Itchy. With Tracy helpless, Itchy seeks refuge with his former ally, B-B-Eyes, and together they devise a chilling plan to slowly wear him down—starving and dehydrating him in a cold, calculated game of survival.

In "Itchy's Downfall," the desperate criminal Itchy turns to Breathless Mahoney’s mother for help, orchestrating a brutal scheme to force B.O. Plenty to reveal the location of stolen money. With Tracy closing in, Itchy steals the cash at gunpoint, flees in a car, and sets off a high-stakes chase that ends in a violent crash. As Junior and Tess pursue him, Itchy captures them both, ultimately trapping Tracy in a deadly game of survival at the home of Mrs. B-B-Eyes.

In "null," Itchy schemes to extract the truth from B.O. Plenty by enlisting Breathless Mahoney's mother, leading to a high-stakes chase when Tracy recovers the stolen money—only for Itchy to steal it back and flee in a car. Junior and Tess give pursuit, but Itchy crashes, knocks out Junior, and takes Tess hostage. Cornered and captured, Tracy is brought to Mrs. B-B-Eyes’ home, where he’s chained and left to starve. The story unfolds with relentless tension as Tracy fights to survive.
