Vintage Dick Tracy Comics
April 27, 2009
I’m obsessed with these old Dick Tracy comics. I love that Detective Tracy is always up against a well-dressed bad guy. Criminals and Detectives should be this well dressed nowadays. These are all from the 1930’s – 1950’s and I found them on Ebay. I also love the artwork.
