Review: Great addition to the Complete Dick Tracy series - An extremely interesting volume in the wonderful deluxe reprint of Dick Tracy by IDW. Chet Gould is by now on the threshold of his golden age (the 40's), and the first of his unforgettable masterpieces appears on this volume (the story of Jerome and Mamma). Other highlights include the return of Stooge Viller in a particularly moving sequence, the tales of the amnesiac girl Mary X and that of the Indian hypnotist, who is able to control Tracy's will. A must for all serious Tracy's aficionados!
Review: This has the entrance of the Moon Maid on January 1, 1964. To introduce an alien and space travel in the strip with his iconic cop detective was very daring for Chester Gould, who was quite accustomed to taking chances, and had full confidence when doing so. His "tried and true" fans and followers were indignant. They wanted their Dick Tracy, who was at times an inhuman jerk. So Chester Gould, whose politics were - well, earlier in this volume without a qualm Tracy napalms a plateaued bluff, leaving the many on it to burn or jump to their dooms. That's the kind of material I think those who disliked Moon Maid had no problem with. But this pixieish, young woman, who did save a mother and baby from a blizzard, with powers like electric blasts from her tiny horns, was more than they could take. In fact, she signals that in 1963 Mr.Gould was on a new track, and as often previously, very prescient. Moon Maid's powers really do foreshadow the powers of super heroes coming in the decades of comics after this. We do have space travel, at least to the moon, introduced in 1962, with a mobster meeting Tracy's justice by being dumped to float in orbit forever. Also, this volume has some of Gould's freakiest stories, with Punky going to the zoo to talk with Stoolie, a cigarette-smoking crow. I don't think anyone else could get away with these kinds of situations and stories in the Sunday comics, which was still a mass medium during those years. As is well known, Moon Maid finds a soft spot in Junior's heart, the same Junior who tangled with a woman villain earlier in the volume and defeated her by tearing out her hair with his teeth. A major change is coming for Tracy as well in the next volume, all heralded by the 1964 visit from an alien - what fun.

*by H***N on 13 February 2013*

Sesto volume del famoso detective di Chester Gould. La casa californiana IDW sta ristampando tutte ma proprio tutte le striscie dalle origini in poi. Tutti i volumi sono completati da aneddoti e curiosità varie legate all'epoca di cui tratta il volume in questione, la rilegatura è sontuosa ed è completata da un segnalibro in raso. Unico svantaggio per gli italiani è la lingua che è rigorosamente in originale, però con un piccolo sforzo si riescono a seguire le storie e a valutare la traduzione che fece la Milano Libri negli anni 60/70 quando pubblicò numerose storie del personaggio e lo fece conoscere qui da noi. For fans only.
