Lawless days like the mid-1930s needed the toughest policemen to dispense justice¿men like Dick Tracy! In Volume 3 of his long-running series, the bold detective tangles with Zora Arson, her escaped-con brother, Boris, and the evil ¿Cutie¿¿who gets cute by springing a death trap involving two famished bobcats! Clover Press and The Library of American Comics are re-presenting Chester Gould¿s earliest Dick Tracy stories in the larger format used throughout most books in the series, so Tracy¿s battles against gangsters look bigger and better than ever. The action hits closer to home when the Tracy family¿s acquaintance, Toby Townley, learns that justice is blind after the small grift she runs makes her realize that prison stripes are the new black. Then Dick Tracy tries an experiment in reform, transforming hardened criminal ¿Lips¿ Manlis into straight-arrow Bob Honor ¿ but is it true there¿s no Honor among thieves? This new edition of Dick Tracy Volume 3 puts Chester Gould¿s great stories into a great package!

It¿s all about family in the Complete Dick Tracy Volume 2, as Clover Press and The Library of American Comics bring this early entry into the series¿ standardized format. That means larger pages in a book that looks great on the shelf with its companions. Between the covers, the spotlight¿s on Junior Tracy as he and his biological father cross paths with the notorious ¿Stooge¿ Viller and his sister, Maxine. Then ¿Big Boy¿ leaves Junior hospitalized before ¿Confidence¿ Dolan locks the boy in the can. Dick Tracy¿s subsequent encounter with secret operative J. Scotland Bumpsted puts the evil Larceny Lu on the run to California. There she meets Junior¿s long-lost mother, who gives Junior a Scotty pup named Oscar and Tracy a way to bring villainous Boris Arson to justice. Chester Gould¿s high-octane stories set pulses raising and hearts beating faster in the reformatted, super-sized, all-action The Complete Dick Tracy Volume 2!

“In Terry and the Pirates all the storytelling tech-niques of the adventure strip fused and a classic style emerged. Caniff developed and integrated the narrative and its visual expression into a uniform aesthetic balance.” — Jerry Robinson, The Comics The saga continues in Terry and the Pirates Volume 9, reproduced from Milton Caniff's personal set of color syndicate tabloid proofs! Flip Corkin schools Joe Jitsu in good ol’ American know-how before he schools Terry about the ins-and-outs of being a fighter pilot. The October 17th Sunday page—as Terry earns his wings and Flip delivers “The Pilot’s Creed”—is so powerful it was read into the Congressional Record. Before that can happen, wily Rouge abducts Taffy Tucker and gives her amnesia before slipping away! Taffy is in safe hands, however, when she falls under the wing of Connie, Big Stoop, and Navy Lieutenant Pat Ryan! Taffy’s reunion with her memory and with Flip coincides with the arrival of Flight Lieutenant Tote Bonny and Grett Murmur, while Terry investigates the French Captain Midi, whom some find almost—hypnotic. This tabloid-sized Volume 9 containing the 1943 dailies and Sundays is an unparalleled upgrade that no Terry fan can afford to pass up.
