4.0 out of 5 stars
Classic, if deeply flawed, collection of the legendary comic,
By
This review is from: The Celebrated Cases of Dick Tracy, 1931-1951 (Hardcover)
In its prime, there never was a strip like Dick Tracy. With rare skill and inventiveness driven by a personal fire, this comic blazed a new trail in subject matter. This book contains some of the greatest stories of what mystery luminary Dashal Hammit called the first modern police procedural stories.In this book, you will enjoy classic tales like Tracy's first story as well as his cases against great villains like The Blank, 88 Keys, The Brow, Mumbles and Flattop. However, I have to mention that since the sunday strips were not included in this reprint, stories in the strip's prime have gaping holes that those colour ones were supposed to cover. It is not fatal, but it hurts the collection. Otherwise, if you want to see what this strip at its best was like, then this can be a good example for you. But if you want complete stories, then Dick Tracy Casebook: Favorite Adventures, 1931-1990 could be more for you.

Missing Sunday pages,
By
This review is from: The Celebrated Cases of Dick Tracy, 1931-1951 (Hardcover)
Contrary to what several reviewers have stated this collection does have the Sunday pages for the last few segments. The early Sunday pages couldn't be reproduced due to technical difficulties at the time of publication. Monday dailies usually gave a summary of what happened on Sunday. This was done as some newspapers did not have Sunday comics.
