Chester Gould - Dick Tracy Daily Comic Strip
<B>Chester Gould - Dick Tracy Daily Comic Strip Original Art, dated 9-22-33 (Chicago Tribune, 1933).</B></I> With the help of a bespectacled doctor, Dick Tracy injects "truth serum" into Slicer in an attempt to crack an auto theft ring. Those were heady "pre-Miranda warning" days for lawmen. This daily was originally given away in 1933 to the fellers of the Hoboken YMCA, as Chester Gould's handwritten notation at the upper right attests. The episode stars Dick Tracy and Pat Patton. Strips before 1940 are rarely offered for sale -- an example signed by Gould is even more special. This daily has an image area of 20" x 5.5", and the art is in Excellent condition.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed - with Glass, Medium (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
