This series is ripe to introduce to crime prose readers who haven't previously ventured into comics. Chester Gould's morality play enters the late '60s, as the cartoonist tackles concepts of retribution, constitutional rights, economic warfare, and Space Age intrigue--all amidst the usual array of murder and violence. The stakes, however, seem higher, and the body count soars: death in space, on the high seas, behind closed doors--by gun, by laser, by asphyxiation, by explosion, and by freezing. The action moves from Earth to the lunar surface as Moon Maid zaps bad guys, Lizz goes undercover, Tracy nearly loses his head--and, when Diet Smith sets up a factory on the moon, will mankind also export greed and murder to its crime-free orbiting satellite? Bad guys include steely mobster Piggy Butcher, Chin Chillar, underworld boss Mr. Intro, and the bootlegger named Posie, among others. Plus the return of Sparkle Plenty and a special feature about the aborted 1967 Dick Tracy TV show from the same producer who made Batman a pop culture icon. Included are all strips from July 3, 1967 to April 2, 1969. Review: One of the best - After hearing so many people complain about the "moon era" in Dick Tracy, I almost didn't get volume 21, and this volume; #22. I am glad that I got this book and judged for myself. I think the Moon maid is a brilliant and enchanting addition to Dick Tracy. I just don't really get all the complaints; I mean crime and action is really never very far away, and often interlaced with the Moon Maid story, with the Moon Maid herself having many crime-fighting tricks up her sleeves. The art is great, humor is in abundance. You can tell that Gould really enjoyed himself during this period. I was kind of stuck on the 30's and 40's era Tracy, but I am starting to really appreciate how things change over the years. I think If I drew a comic every day for 30 plus years, I would, at some point, want to throw something truly different into the mix...like Gould does with the Moon Maid. Review: AT LAST...AT LONG, LONG LAST.... - I've been awaiting this volume since IDW started this series in 2005; it represents a watershed moment for us Tracy fans who had the rug pulled out from under us in 1989 when Blackthorne Publishing went belly-up. Blackthorne's DICK TRACY WEEKLY was canceled after #99, just as the Moon Maid saga was getting good. Tracy, upset over Junior's running off to the moon with Moon Maid, resigned (!) on 4/26/64, his forlorn figure walking away from Chief Patton, Liz, and Sam...then nothing! Now, nearly thirty years later, we get to see what transpired next: the Skeleton in the Elm Tree, Junior and Moon Maid's wedding, the Disappearance of Lita Flite, the introduction of Matty Square and his gang, and, of course, Mr. Bribery and Ugly Christine. I don't believe any of the strips from this era have ever been reprinted before? Can't wait for future volumes that will contain the last twelve years of Mr. Gould's iconic run...Fellow Blackthorne mourners...OUR TIME HAS COME!!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,153,072 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,262 in Comic Strips (Books) #2,669 in Humor About Law & Crime #3,605 in Mystery Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 50 Reviews | ## Images ![Complete Chester Gould's Dick Tracy Volume 24 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ICqj0Q2lL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best *by T***E on July 19, 2017* After hearing so many people complain about the "moon era" in Dick Tracy, I almost didn't get volume 21, and this volume; #22.
