Dick Tracy Monthly #11
In this 1987 installment of Dick Tracy Monthly, the ever-diligent detective teams up with Sam and his loyal boxer dog Muggs to outwit the menacing "Pear-Shape," a criminal who forces Pedro into a daring escape by helicopter—only to meet a fateful end in the lion's den at the zoo. Meanwhile, Talcum Plenty’s obsession with celebrity branding leads him to spend big on photos of Sparkle Plenty for baby clothing ads, while B.O. Plenty wrestles with guilt over a mistaken gunshot that may have hit Mr. Freely. Written and illustrated by Chester Gould, with full art and cover by the legendary creator himself, this issue delivers classic noir tension with a touch of absurd flair.
