	The Complete Chester Gould’s Dick Tracy: Volume #1 at Rack Raids
		In 1931 Chester Gould created a character and strip he first entitled “Plain Clothes Tracy,” a man thrown into the fight against crime by personal circumstances during an era when the real world was rife with crooked cops and out of control organized crime.
		While Al Capone literally ran the city of Chicago, Chester Gould created an honest cop in an unnamed city clearly intended to be that same metropolis.
		But Gould was trying to get his feet under himself in something never seen before, and once the reader gets past that point little trouble will be had conceptually.
