Publisher's Synopsis
- This volume introduces Mumbles - one of Dick Tracy's greatest villains - and sees Tracy form the Crime Stoppers Club, teaching young boys and girls crime detection techniques. The fascinating (and sometimes grotesque) parade of characters continues, including Coffyhead, Hypo, Bronko, Kiss Andtell, Acres O'Riley, Heels Beals, and Autumn Hews. Plus, everyone dreads seeing what the baby born to B.O. Plenty and Gravel Gertie will look like!
- Edited and designed by Eisner Award-winner Dean Mullaney, with introductions by Max Allan Collins and Jeff Kersten, this collection contains all the daily and Sunday comic strips from March 17, 1947 through September 26, 1948.
-The Library of American Comics is
the world's #1 publisher of classic newspaper comic strips, with 14 Eisner Award
nominations and three wins for best book. LOAC has become "the gold standard for
archival comic strip reprints...The research and articles provide insight and
context, and most importantly the glorious reproduction of the material has
preserved these strips for those who knew them and offers a new gateway to
adventure for those discovering them for the first time." -
