A windfall for cartoon collectors, DICK TRACY - THE COMPLETE ANIMATED SERIES brings together under one cover all 130 episodes of the early 1960s cartoon program.
Although the series was made by Dick Tracy creator Chester Gould, it differs from Gould's dark strip in its light, slapstick tone.
Exaggerated characters like Jo Jitsu, Go Go Gomez, and Hemlock Holmes are Tracy's cohorts in fighting the evil figures Flat Top, Mumbles, and Prune Face.
The series' sleek, minimal style is nicely representative of the era's animation, and the handsome package make this a welcome addition to any cartoon library.

Dick Tracy
Legendary police detective Dick Tracy is the only man tough enough to take on gangster boss Big Boy Caprice and his band of menacing mobsters. Dedicated to his work but at the same time devoted to his loyal girlfriend, Tess Trueheart, Tracy finds himself torn between love and duty. His relentless crusade against crime becomes even more difficult when he gets saddled with an engaging orphan and meets seductive and sultry Breathless Mahoney, a torch singer determined to get the best of Tracy. A faceless character, the Blank, threatens both Tracy and Big Boy, and it takes all of Tracy's skills to save the city.
