“The Case of the Atomic Killers”

In "The Case of the Atomic Killers," Dick Tracy faces a new wave of high-stakes crime as thieves exploit Diet Smith's atomic light to pull off daring warehouse heists—despite Smith’s efforts to stop them. When Irma accidentally shoots Smith in the bathtub, the injured man is found by B. O. Plenty, who alerts Tracy to the escalating danger. A gripping chapter in the legendary series, this 1951 issue features the full creative hand of Chester Gould, with every line, inking, and lettering drawn by the master himself, and the cover by Gould captures the tension in bold, unmistakable style.
