Dick Tracy #6
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis sixth volume in Blackthorne's Reuben Award Winner Series collects classic Dick Tracy newspaper strips from the mid-1940s, featuring the debut of the memorable villain Flattop and the ongoing adventures of Tracy, Sam Catchem, and a rogues' gallery including Pruneface, Mumbles, and Itchy. The collection also highlights the growing cast of characters such as B.O. Plenty, Sparkle Plenty, and Breathless Mahoney, as Chester Gould's distinctive storytelling and sharp artwork continue to define the hard-boiled detective strip.
Dick Tracy #6 (1986) delivers another gripping chapter in the hard-boiled world of the iconic detective, with Chester Gould writing, drawing, inking, and lettering every page—his singular vision fully intact. When Coffyhead and Lugi make a desperate break from prison and Mumbles’ gang strikes again, Tracy faces a familiar challenge: proving guilt in a city where shadows run deep and alibis are as slippery as the evidence. The cover by Gould captures the tension perfectly, setting the tone for a story where justice is always one step ahead, but never guaranteed.
