PORTLAND, OR — It’s a ‘Mad’ Valentine’s Day mystery in the Dick Tracy Valentine’s Special, coming soon from Mad Cave Studios! The crime-fighting legacy of the iconic detective continues in the Valentine’s Day Special’s two new tales!
The first story, “Hollywood Babylon”, features celebrated ongoing series authors Alex Segura (The Legendary Lynx) and Michael Moreci (Barbaric) with striking new artwork by Craig Cermak (The Cursed Library).
When a string of murders occurs on the set of a romantic movie filming in The City, Dick Tracy is on the case. In this world of glitz and glamour, where everyone tells a story but no one tells the truth, Tracy races against the clock to separate fact from fiction and stop this killer before they fulfill their promise to strike again—on Valentine’s Day!
The second story, “Heartbreak Alley,” features the creative talents of writer Steve Orlando (Gatchaman: Galactor) and artist Brent Schoonover (Howling Commandos of SHIELD).
While investigating a series of bizarre deaths, Dick Tracy finds himself transported into the life of his dreams! But what is lurking behind this locus of love?
This special comic book features colors by Mark Englert and lettering by Jim Campbell. The issue is wrapped in two captivating covers—Cover A by Geraldo Borges and a variant Cover B by Paulina Ganucheau (Zodiac Starforce).
“It’s been wonderful to see readers responding to our work on the Dick Tracy ongoing—and even better to have our friends at Mad Cave let us expand the publishing program to include fun one-off stories, like the Dick Tracy Valentine’s Special,” said Alex Segura. “Getting to pair with an artist like Craig, an old friend who is on the cusp of breaking out in a big way, to tell a memorable story featuring Dick Tracy and Tess has been a true thrill. We hope readers new and old get a kick out of it.”
“We’ve been so grateful for the success of Dick Tracy—our readers have been so enthusiastic and loyal—and, to me, this feels like an issue made with them in mind,” said Michael Moreci. “It’s our most ‘throwback’ Dick Tracy story, and it’s a ton of fun. I think readers are going to have a blast with this one.”
In collaboration with Tribune Content Agency and New Wave Comics, Mad Cave Studios is committed to preserving the essence of Chester Gould’s creation, this puts a stamp on the official new era for the iconic detective. Don’t miss out!
