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

Faceless foes bookend the stories in Dick Tracy Volume 4, the latest entry in the Clover Press/Library of American Comics reissue of the original six Dick Tracy volumes in the larger format that became the series standard. The intrepid detective and his friends tackle invisible enemies when they square off against the notorious Purple Cross Gang and their masked leader. Later, Tracy and Pat Patton come to grips - and blows - with The Blank, whose look predates The Question, whose name predates The Shining, and whose unmasked face harkens back to Lon Chaney as Quasimodo Sandwiched between those two tales, Tracy is caught in a web of intrigue along with three amoral young girls, millionaire wastrel Johnny Mintworth and his mother, plus the powerful mobs fronted by "Collie" Vinsso and Danny Supeena. Chester Gould puts menace in every shadow and death around every corner in Dick Tracy Volume 4
