The Original Dick Tracy Comic Album #3
In "The Lair of the Mole," Dick Tracy takes on a ruthless criminal named Duke, whose armored truck heist goes sideways when he captures Tracy and traps him in a deadly setup. After narrowly escaping, Tracy tracks Duke to the mysterious lair of the Mole, a man who doesn’t take kindly to betrayal—especially when it comes to stolen money. Written and illustrated by Chester Gould, with coloring by Sue Daigle, this 1990 Gladstone comic album features a tense, atmospheric tale that builds suspense through clever traps and shadowy underground hideouts. The cover, by Joe Staton, captures the story’s gritty mood with a striking image of Tracy confronting the Mole’s lair.
