Super Comics #105

Dick Tracy takes center stage here in his signature yellow trenchcoat, gripping both a pistol and a telephone receiver against a backdrop of a shattered window — every inch the tough, no-nonsense detective fans came to love. This 1947 Dell anthology packs in a remarkable lineup, with portrait thumbnails along the side spotlighting Smitty, Orphan Annie, Tiny Tim, Minnie Winkle, and Harold Teen alongside Tracy himself. For a dime, readers in 1947 got a genuine all-star roster of newspaper comic strip favorites gathered under one cover.
