Customer Reviews of Dick Tracy: The Thirties : Tommyguns and Hard Times
Young Tracy! This is the perfect companion piece to the book THE CELEBRATED CASES OF DICK TRACY as well as Warren Beatty's DICK TRACY movie. The book collects the early 1930's exploits of the most famous comic strip detective of them all and one can see the evolution of writer Chester Gould's storytelling style. In his heyday Tracy, like Beatty, seemed lean and boyish (his sharped-cut nose and chinned developed slowly) as he matched fists and bullets with bloated mobsters like "Big Boy." The early stories, themselves, play like matinee melodrama as young Tracy's misadventures with his girlfriend Tess Trueheart and "son" Junior (the comic's first "boy-sidekick")border on being pure soap opera. Still, while the artwork and plotting seems childlike and crude, these 70 year old adventures hold up due to a breathless mix of danger and innocence.
