Nearly 2 years of Dick Tracy strips from the early 1950s, probably the high point of the strip's production. The first story has Crewy Lou on the lam, inadvertently kidnapping baby Bonny Braids Tracy in the process. After a manhunt that must have had readers on tenterhooks (Gould was not above dealing death to innocents), Crewy Lou dies in a fall from a ranger's tower, and Bonny Braids is rescued by an isolated couple in the woods after nearly dying from exposure. Actually, she almost meets the same end again months later. Poor tyke had a rough first year. Junior Tracy has a rough patch too, when his first love, Model, dies after being accidentally shot through the neck by her criminal brother. This was a short storyline, but one that probably moved Gould's readership more than any other story he ever wrote. I still think Gould is overrated, but I'm coming around to enjoying his work as a guilty pleasure of a summer read. ( )
