T is for Dick Tracy


Possibly the consummate police detective, Dick Tracy is a long-running newspaper comic strip that has quickly progressed into mainstream pop culture thanks to cartoon and movie adaptations. Created by cartoonist Chester Gould in 1931, the strip made its debut appearance in the Detroit Mirror. Gould wrote and drew Dick Tracy's adventures until 1977 - and the strip still continues to this day. Tracy is a tough police detective who has matched wits with a variety of colourful and bizarre criminals, often utilising modern or even futuristic gadgetry.
