DICK TRACY Colorful Cases of the 1930S

This selection of Dick Tracy Sunday pages from 1931 to 1939 features Gould’s most infamous villains (Boris Arson, Cut Famon, Johnny Mintworth and The Purple Cross Gang) of the decade, with four complete stories, plus forty more fabulous Sundays highlighting the villains and heroes not seen in the featured cases. Each of these sections features detailed commentary by a Tracy historian. High-quality, hardbound volume produced in collaboration with the Chester Gould-Dick Tracy Museum. In the early 1930s, Chester Gould dramatically altered the comics landscape with a new style of gritty realism torn from Chicago’s headlines and fueled by the hard-hitting gangster films of the era. And with this new kind of storytelling came a new way of coloring comics, with strong, solid blacks and primary colors. Now, to fully appreciate Chester Gould's incredible artwork and storytelling, Sunday Press has reprinted these comics for the first time in the original colors, fully restored and in full tabloid size.
