This April Mad Cave Studios along with Tribune Content Agency and New Wave Comics are launching a new series featuring classic pulp hero, Dick Tracy.
Written by Alex Segura and Michael Moreci with art by Geraldo Borges, colors by Mark Englert, letters by Jim Campbell, and creative consultation from Chantelle Aimée Osman, the series launches April 24 with a focus on blending the pulp roots of the character with a modern, hardboiled storytelling approach.
In the aftermath of World War II, the country stands frozen–waiting for the next shoe to drop. In The City, a brutal murder draws the attention of rising star detective Dick Tracy, who soon discovers the bloodshed is just the beginning of a complicated web that threatens to ensnare everything he cares about.
Blending the classic elements of the Dick Tracy world (including his iconic villains, supporting cast, and unforgettable watch radio) with a hardboiled and realistic take, DICK TRACY #1 kicks off a fresh and modern approach on the iconic detective that remains true to his rich history.
Along with the series Mad Cave is releasing special connecting B covers by Brent Schoonover, which seamlessly weave together the visual narrative of this noir-infused arc, as well as two additional special limited Mad Cave Exclusive variant covers, featuring artists Thomas Pitilli (Wonder Woman) and Tula Lotay (All Star-Batman), only available on the Mad Cave website!
