Chester Gould — The Trusty Detective

Dick Tracy, Sunday Strip, March 12, 1961

One panel. That’s all it took to get my attention on this page.

Which one? Trust me, it’s not a quiz: It’s panel three, featuring the CLASSIC Dick Tracy profile by creator Chester Gould

And, as a bonus, our trusty detective is holding a gun.

Of course, it’s an overall great Sunday page with nice action to complement all that detecting. But that specific panel is iconic to a strip and creator that were inexorably tied together for nearly 50 years.
