Dick Tracy #55

In "Dick Tracy and the Case of the Murderous Midget," the detective follows a trail that leads to a shocking discovery: Heels Beals trapped inside a billboard-mounted soft drink display, dehydrated and near collapse. When B. O. Plenty explodes in fury over a bottler using Sparkle’s name without permission, Tracy uses a hunch to bring the display down—uncovering a bizarre crime with a twist no one saw coming.

When crooks gun down inventor Diet Smith in a botched theft, Dick Tracy takes up the case of the Teleguard—a revolutionary device that lets users watch distant locations through cameras. With the brilliant scientist who helped build it, Tracy must unravel how the invention's power could be so dangerously tempting.

In "The Terror Strikes Again," Dick Tracy brings top law enforcement leaders to witness Diet Smith’s new Teleguard machine, a marvel of modern detection. But when Big Frost, posing as an official guest, learns that the real genius behind the device is a young scientist named Brilliant, he makes a deadly move—shooting the inventor in cold blood.
