☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis eighth volume in Blackthorne's Reuben Award Series collects classic Dick Tracy newspaper strips from the mid-20th century, featuring detective Dick Tracy, his partner Pat Patton, and supporting character Sparkle Plenty in a series of crime-solving adventures. The collection highlights the iconic storytelling and artwork that earned creator Chester Gould the Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year.
Dick Tracy #9 (1986) delivers another pulse-pounding chapter in the hard-boiled saga, with Chester Gould writing and drawing every page in his signature stark, kinetic style. As Brier’s violent act sets off a chain of chaos, Acres O'Riley’s descent into madness and Tiny Heels Beals’ ruthless exploitation of her instability raise the stakes—while Sparkle Plenty’s innocent birthday celebration stands in chilling contrast. Mike Kelley’s cover captures the issue’s raw tension, perfectly framing the dread lurking beneath the surface.
