Dick Tracy Crimebuster

From 1999 to 2000, Avalon Communications revived the classic newspaper detective with an eight-issue miniseries written by Max Allan Collins and drawn by Dick Locher. This run brought Tracy into a modern era while retaining the gritty, hard-boiled tone and distinctive visual style of the strip. Collins, a longtime Tracy novelist and historian, paired with Locher, the strip’s longtime artist, to deliver a faithful yet fresh take on the iconic crime-fighter. A must-read for fans of vintage newspaper comics and detective fiction, this series bridges the gap between the strip’s storied past and its contemporary relevance.
