DICK TRACY Comes To Mad Cave Studios

Mad Cave Studios has partnered with DICK TRACY comics rights-holders Alex Segura, Michael Moreci, and Chantelle Aimée Osman, with oversight from DICK TRACY owners, Tribune Content Agency, to bring the iconic lawman back to comics!

For over 90 years, the evolution of Chester Gould’s detective DICK TRACY has gone from comic strip to a radio show and merchandise, all the way to hitting the big screen in 1990. Now the square-jawed crimestopper is making his way to Mad Cave for all new adventures and a super sly takeover of nostalgia.

At the helm of Mad Cave’s  DICK TRACY series debut is bestselling and award-winning author Alex Segura (SECRET IDENTITY, ARANA/SPIDER-MAN 2099: DARK TOMORROW), acclaimed author Michael Moreci (BARBARIC, STRANGER THINGS), and renowned artist Geraldo Borges (NIGHTWING, NO/ONE, THUNDERBOLTS), with creative consultation from Chantelle Aimée Osman (THE REJECTS).
