We have all been concerned about Mike – praying for his health, hoping that he is well. I, for one, was hoping that when he did return, he would give us a really good Dick Tracy story rooted in the classic elements of the strip, which made it famous in the first place – police detective procedure, distinctive villains, Tracy on the job following clues. But here we are – more moon sci fi. I may be in the minority here, but I’m disappointed!
Dick Tracy (the strip) was almost 50 years old when Chester Gould retired. Only a very few years were taken up with Gould’s side trip into “the moon phase”. I wish modern writers would remember the classic Tracy. Just my opinion, folks.
