Tonsils. Story, art and cover by Chester Gould. Blackthorne Publishing reprints the original comic-strip adventures of legendary tough cop Dick Tracy and his rogues gallery of freakish enemies. This issue reprints strips from March-May 1952. Talent agent Dude the Dapper literally holds people at gunpoint to force them to listen to his latest discovery, the singer named Tonsils. This is certainly effective in getting him noticed, but the agents union does not approve, and neither does Dick Tracy. 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.00.

Volume 29 - 1st printing. "Pucker Puss Zero Nought: 1976 to 1977!"
Story and art by Chester Gould.
This volume completes the iconic comics written and drawn by Chester Gould.
After 46 years, 2 months, and 21 days writing and drawing Dick Tracy Chester Gould retired at the age of 77. In these historic final strips, Gould pits his dynamic detective against the latest in a long line of grotesque villains. Tracy, meanwhile, takes his law and order campaign to television, while his past catches up to him when a criminal he helped convict twenty years ago puts the detective on his "to kill" list. To round out this volume, the squad room is kept busy with two members of B.O. Plenty's extended family who are anything but law-abiding-Perfume Plenty and her larcenous cousin Dade. All this and more in the ultimate volume of Chester Gould's Dick Tracy, collecting strips from March 15, 1976 to December 25, 1977.
The series is ripe to introduce to crime prose readers who haven't previously ventured into comics.
Hardcover, 11-in. x 8 1/2-in., 288 pages, B&W.
Cover price $44.99.
