In a world filled with gangsters and petty criminals preying on the innocent, Chester Gould's comic strip detective Dick Tracy was the hard-boiled smackdown. This is my collection of Tracy stuff and items of interest, in one place. The place where Tracy hangs his hat.

Ford Autolite ad...
First in a series, collect 'em all!
I have several of these but they were given me and I don't know much about the origins. Published in 1966, I beleive.
How many were there?
Did they appear in Life or Look or another magazine? All?
Any info would be appreciated.
Comments, as always are encouraged.

Frankenstein Meets Dick Tracy!
Sorry, not a lost cross-genre flick but it'd be cool if it was, hey?
I bought this on ebay years ago. In fact, it may be one of the first things I ever bought via the (now evil) website.
It brings together 2 of my great loves: Tracy and Frankenstein.
That's not an easy thing to pull off either, so this is cool as aych-eee-double hockey sticks!
That's Glenn Strange, by the way for those not gifted with Monster-sight-recognition.
It's a mutant power, so don't try to cultivate it.
Wigg out...
I have forgotten where this originated from but hey, there's Chief Wiggum as Dick Tracy!
With movie shirt, no less!
Tron is nice too.
