notes: label: Description
content: "Dick Tracy", created and originally drawn by Chester Gould (1900-1985), features the title character, a crime-fighting detective ("dick" being a slang term for detective at the time of the strip's creation) unafraid of using violence as a means to end the city's vice. Begun in 1931, the strip continues to run in newspapers and comic books. During the 1960s, much of the strip's action centered around space technology. In this strip, someone has stolen Tracy's space coupe to retrieve $100,000 supposedly floating around in space.
