Reviews

"Tracy's sarcastic quips and sardonic asides contrast nicely with the colorful, exaggerated artwork." -Major Spoilers "The Allreds and Rich Tomasso have done an amazing job bringing Dick Tracy into the modern world. They kept the essence of the character true, while throwing in an interesting science fiction twist. This is a caper that all Dick Tracy fans need to add to their collection." -Adventures in Poor Taste "A real blast from the past, Dick Tracy: Dead or Alive is a fun and well constructed reintroduction of the crime fighter for a new audience." -Newsarama "Delivers a knockout finale that any neo-noir fan would absolutely love! The most iconic comic-strip heroes of all time hits the landing in an eye-popping reboot!" -Villain Media
