description: Dick Tracy leaps into the Space Age when Diet Smith's experimental Space Coupe brings back a visitor from outer space! Meet...Moon Maid the most outrageous character in the strip's entire history. Prior to venturing where no detective has gone before Tracy deals with some very earthbound--and gruesomely entertaining--adventures including the use of napalm (!) to flush out a gang of crooks from their hideout. In these strips from August 27 1962 through April 12 1964 Tracy mixes it up with the criminal 52 Gang--each named for a card in the poker deck--who have found a novel way to dispose of the corpses of their enemies Junior is smitten by a girl who literally wants him dead Sparkle Plenty falls into the hands of crazed modern artists and their ape accomplice and (six months before it happened in the real world) a doctor has perfected heart transplant surgery--but in this case it's on unwilling victims!
