description: For six decades, some square-jawed flatfoot by the name of Richard Tracy has been mucking up perfectly good - often brilliant - careers in crime. Gangsters and grotesque geniuses alike have found their infallible designs fouled by the cop with the funny yellow hat. Dick Tracy's crime-stopping skills remain at their peak after six decades on the force.Among the villains assembled in this delightful volume are many old familiar Flattop, Jr. whose designs on getting out of the small town he's in take him straight into the path of the cop who killed his famous father; Pruneface, who has kept his plans on ice for long enough; Moene, the daughter of the Mole, whose underground connections are as extensive as those of her father's; Mumbles; Harley Niav, aka Putty Puss, who offers up a parade of familiar faces - all bent on revenge.Including to this line-up, this delightful collection also includes a special interview with Chester Gould from late in the artist's life, and many rare strips, making this a fiendish way to celebrate 60 years of great detecting work and unmatched villainy.
