Dick Tracy
By Charles Ettinger and Joe Staton and Mike Curtis | 5.7K FollowersAbout Dick Tracy
When crime rears its ugly head, Dick Tracy is always there to protect our streets and keep us safe. Created by Chester Gould during the bad old days of Capone and Dillinger, the fictional detective was the first of his kind in the comics. Soon some of the most grotesque and flamboyant criminals of all time came to battle him and always went away in handcuffs, or worse. He has always been a step ahead of real law enforcement, starting with his two-way wrist radio all the way to police computer networks.
