Dick Tracy's Fiendish Foes: A 60th Anniversary Celebration

For six decades, some square-jawed flatfoot by the name of Richard Tracy has been mucking up perfectly good - often brilliant - careers in crime. Gangsters and grotesque geniuses alike have found their infallible designs fouled by the cop with the funny yellow hat. Dick Tracy's crime-stopping skills remain at their peak after six decades on the force.

Among the villains assembled in this delightful volume are many old familiar faces: Flattop, Jr. whose designs on getting out of the small town he's in take him straight into the path of the cop who killed his famous father; Pruneface, who has kept his plans on ice for long enough; Moene, the daughter of the Mole, whose underground connections are as extensive as those of her father's; Mumbles; Harley Niav, aka Putty Puss, who offers up a parade of familiar faces - all bent on revenge.

Including to this line-up, this delightful collection also includes a special interview with Chester Gould from late in the artist's life, and many rare strips, making this a fiendish way to celebrate 60 years of great detecting work and unmatched villainy.
