Description
Clover Press and The Library of American Comics demonstrate that size truly matters as we meet fans' long-standing requests to produce new editions of the first six volumes of Chester Gould's The Complete Dick Tracy. This is no simple reprinting; these volumes have been reformatted to match the larger size of Volumes 7 through 29.
In this premiere offering, we return to the gritty days of 1931, when tragedy in the Trueheart family puts young Dick Tracy on the police force. This pits him against mobster Big Boy, Larceny Lu, the counterfeiter Alec Penn, the notorious "Stooge" Viller, and Steve the Tramp!
As an added bonus, the first thirty-four Tracy Sunday pages, featuring stories separate from the daily continuity, have been rescanned to be sharper and cleaner than their original reprinting.
There's never been a better time than now to get reacquainted with Chester Gould's crime-busting plainclothesman, with the publication of the new, larger edition of The Complete Dick Tracy Volume 1!
