Volume 1 - 1st printing. "1931-1933!" Clover Press and The Library of American Comics prove that size does matter as we fulfill fans' long-standing requests to produce new editions of the first six volumes of Chester Gould's The Complete Dick Tracy. This is no simple reprinting - these volumes have been reformatted to be the same larger size as Volumes 7 through 29. In this premiere offering, we return again to those hardscrabble days of 1931, when tragedy in the Trueheart family puts young Dick Tracy on the police force and pits him against mobster "Big Boy," Larceny Lu, the counterfeiter Alec Penn, the nefarious "Stooge" Viller, and Steve the Tramp! As an added bonus, the first thirty-four Tracy Sunday pages, with stories separate from the daily continuity, have been rescanned to make them sharper and cleaner than their original reprinting. There's never been a better time than now to get reacquainted with Chester Gould's crime-busting plainclothesman, with the publication of the new bigger edition of The Complete Dick Tracy Volume 1! Hardcover, 11-in. x 8 1/2-in., 280 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $59.95.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "1933-1935!" It's all about family in the Complete Dick Tracy Volume 2, as Clover Press and The Library of American Comics bring this early entry into the series' standardized format. That means larger pages in a book that looks great on the shelf with its companions. Between the covers, the spotlight's on Junior Tracy as he and his biological father cross paths with the notorious "Stooge" Viller and his sister, Maxine. Then "Big Boy" leaves Junior hospitalized before "Confidence" Dolan locks the boy in the can. Dick Tracy's subsequent encounter with secret operative J. Scotland Bumpsted puts the evil Larceny Lu on the run to California. There she meets Junior's long-lost mother, who gives Junior a Scotty pup named Oscar and Tracy a way to bring villainous Boris Arson to justice. Chester Gould's high-octane stories set pulses raising and hearts beating faster in the reformatted, super-sized, all-action The Complete Dick Tracy Volume 2! Hardcover, 11-in. x 8 1/2-in., 280 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $59.99.

Volume 3 - 1st printing. "1935-1936!" PLawless days like the mid-1930s needed the toughest policemen to dispense justice—men like Dick Tracy! In Volume 3 of his long-running series, the bold detective tangles with Zora Arson, her escaped-con brother, Boris, and the evil Cutie—who gets cute by springing a death trap involving two famished bobcats! Clover Press and The Library of American Comics are re-presenting Chester Goulds earliest Dick Tracy stories in the larger format used throughout most books in the series, so Tracys battles against gangsters look bigger and better than ever. The action hits closer to home when the Tracy familys acquaintance, Toby Townley, learns that justice is blind after the small grift she runs makes her realize that prison stripes are the new black. Then Dick Tracy tries an experiment in reform, transforming hardened criminal Lips Manlis into straight-arrow Bob Honor – but is it true theres no Honor among thieves? This new edition of Dick Tracy Volume 3 puts Chester Goulds great stories into a great package! Hardcover, 11-in. x 8 1/2-in., 256 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $59.99.

Volume 4 - 1st printing. "1936-1938!" Story and art by Chester Gould. Faceless foes bookend the stories in Dick Tracy Volume 4, the latest entry in the Clover Press/Library of American Comics reissue of the original six Dick Tracy volumes in the larger format that became the series standard. The intrepid detective and his friends tackle invisible enemies when they square off against the notorious Purple Cross Gang and their masked leader. Later, Tracy and Pat Patton come to grips – and blows! – with The Blank, whose look predates The Question, whose name predates The Shining, and whose unmasked face harkens back to Lon Chaney as Quasimodo! Sandwiched between those two tales, Tracy is caught in a web of intrigue along with three amoral young girls, millionaire wastrel Johnny Mintworth and his mother, plus the powerful mobs fronted by Collie Vinsso and Danny Supeena. Chester Gould puts menace in every shadow and death around every corner in Dick Tracy Volume 4! Hardcover, 11-in. x 8 1/2-in. , PC/PB&W. Cover price $59.99.
