Chester Gould created and illustrated the world of Dick Tracy from 1931 until 1977. During this time, he introduced a captivated audience to many beloved characters, including Tracy, the Chief, Mumbles, The Mole, Flattop, and Tess Trueheart. Coming soon, Clover Press will offer a four-book set of Classic Dick Tracy in definitive, deluxe editions through BackerKit.
From 1941 to 1944, fans of hard-boiled detective stories can relive the character and narratives as only Chester Gould envisioned. In addition to these beautiful collector books, they are also making available Dick Tracy Trading Cards, which we are proud to exclusively show our readers in advance of the campaign’s launch. This is all thanks to the kindness of Clover Press.
Coming to BackerKit
Clover Press’s new collections offer readers a glimpse into the strip’s early years, featuring every strip published from 1941 to 1944. Each volume will be 11″ x 8.5″ in a horizontal format and housed in a vertical slipcase with fresh artwork by David Mack and Stewart Kenneth Moore, ensuring better protection and improved shelf organization.
More Than Just Four Great Books
Backers will receive all four volumes at once and can choose from different tiers and add-ons, which include a variety of amazing extra rewards. Additional rewards feature a sticker pack, a lithograph showcasing art by Chester Gould that was published in LIFE Magazine, and a trading card set titled “Dick Tracy Case Files,” which will only be available through BackerKit. Furthermore, backers who pledge within the first 48 hours at the “Early Bird Edition” tier will receive a discount along with an exclusive bookmark featuring stunning artwork by David Mack. Fans can now follow the pre-launch page on BackerKit to receive an email notification when the project launches.

I am married to a lovely woman who is as crazy as I am and the proud parent of a 21-year-old young man with autism. My wife and son are my real heroes.
