Dick Tracy Monthly #24
In Dick Tracy Monthly #24 (1987), Chester Gould delivers another sharp, suspense-laden chapter of the detective’s ongoing war against crime, with a twist that turns the lens of innocence—baby photography—into a tool for high-stakes burglary. When Mrs. Knox’s shocking confession exposes her husband’s ties to organized crime, a dangerous chain of betrayal unfolds as the elusive Sphinx and Crewy Lou attempt to fence stolen diamonds, only to draw the wrath of a ruthless kingpin. With Gould’s signature art and storytelling, this issue pulses with tension, as deception, greed, and violence collide in a world where no one is truly safe—especially not behind the camera’s lens.
