Mad Cave’s Dick Tracy ongoing is debuting a new story arc in issue #16 in April, and The Beat has an exclusive first look at what’s to come for everyone’s favorite sleuth.
Co-written by Alex Segura and Michael Moreci, illustrated by Geraldo Borges, colored by Mark Englert, and lettered by Patrick Brosseau, Dick Tracy #16 increases the stakes as the eponymous hero fights to save the entire city.
Here’s the synopsis:
THE STREETS OF THE CITY RUN RED!
As Dick Tracy struggles to get back on his feet after the cataclysmic conclusion of #15, forces beyond his control conspire and align to destroy him – and everything he holds dear!
It’s all been building to this—as the acclaimed and best-selling Dick Tracy series continues to up the ante for fans! Can the City—and Tracy—survive a brutal gang war? We find out here.
Check out an exclusive preview below, as well as main cover art by Borges and Englert and a variant cover by Mahmud Asrar.
“It’s all been building to this. Michael and I have been planting seeds and plot threads since the first Dick Tracy issue and many if not all will pay off in this arc, as someone pulls every lever to destroy the one thing that Dick Tracy can’t live without—his reputation,” Segura told The Beat.
Moreci said, “This is a huge, game-changing arc for the Dick Tracy story, and those who have been with us since the beginning are going to be very, very satisfied with where the story lands.”
Dick Tracy #16 will be available digitally and at your local comic shop on April 8.
