The Complete Chester Gould’s Dick Tracy Volume 16: 1954-1956: Book Review

Started: April 17, 2025

(This is my first time reading this book, so according to my new rules, I'm doing this as a video only review.)



In my review of Volume 15, I noted that halfway through that volume, the source for the daily strips changed, which resulted in reproductions of the artworrk that looked a lot more murky, and a lot less clear and sharp.  Unfortunately, Volume 16 appears to use the same source for the daily strips.  I was going to make a point of commenting about this on the video, but I completely forgot.


Here is the comment from Bucky749, in which he told me "Look for ones with mumbles he was the closest dick Tracy had to the joker as Chester gold brought him back multiple times": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNIiK2H_ggs&lc=UgytQz1dyX16f6-fxb94AaABAg


I was able to read this book thanks to the Michigan statewide state-wide interlibrary loan service called MeLCat, which may be in danger thanks to a Presidential executive order.  If you, like me, enjoy using MeLCat, contact your local representatives and let them know.
