	Did you Know...?: Pruneface
		Since his debut in 1942 closely coincided with World War II, Pruneface was conveniently developed as a spy, saboteur and leader for the Nazi cause.
		Pruneface was introduced in 1943 as a ruthless, noseless Amazon shrew who vowed to avenge Pruneface at the expense of Tracy.
		Pruneface remains among the most visually startling villains in comic history.

		Pruneface, while not as great as his predecessor (Flattop Jones), is a brutal and ruthless bastard.

		In Collins’ letter to CBG he wrote, “Wells gives titles to each of my stories, which are for the most part of his own choice and creation; they are good and clever titles, but they aren’t my own.” I tend to refer to the stories simply by the name of the villain.
		This story revealed that Pruneface, thought to be frozen to death in 1942, was actually put into cryonic suspension (by one “Dr. Kryos Freezdrei”, no less) and revived in the present day.
		Pruneface; there were also two tpbs available, Tommyguns and Hard Times and The Celebrated Cases of Dick Tracy.

	Meeting Max Allan Collins and Terry Beatty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Max was writing Dick Tracy at the time, and I commented that I despised Pruneface, a bad guy created and destroyed by Tracy's creator, Chester Gould.
		Pruneface was Nazi, criminal, ugly...that enough made him worth being dead, but no, Max had to bring him back to life.
		In Max's story, some Weisenthal types got hold of Pruneface, but he survived somehow.

	Nancy Atherton - Aunt Dimity, Detective
		There hadn't been a murder in Finch since 1872 when one shepherd bashed another with the hook of his crook.
		But narrowing the list of suspects is a major challenge: the newly arrived Pruneface had quickly become privy to everyone's secrets—and used her secret knowledge to plant rumors, nurture backbiting, resurrect feuds, and season it all with downright lies.
		Fortunately, Aunt Dimity's supernatural skills—and her insight into uncovering the true goodness of human nature—make the experience of unraveling the mystery as cozy as a warm fire on a winter's night.

		As America went to war, Gould came up with exceedingly strange villians to fight his cop and Tracy hit its stride.
		Pruneface and Flattop (1943, the latter being Gould's most famous villian), The Brow and Shaky (1944), Itchy (1945) and on and on, Gould countered the horrifying headlines of World War II with his own dose of horrible henchmen.
		Gould really hit his creative stride in the mid 40s, and I think his work is best from around 1942 to about 1960.

		There was Pruneface, a dead ringer for an exhumed cadaver; the Mole, a homicidal man-sized rodent who lived in a burrow; Itchy, who never stopped scratching; Measles, whose complexion resembled an aerial view of the Badlands; and, of course, that bottomless well of chaw juice, B. Plenty.

		Fade up on a caption that reads "25 Years Later." MacLeod is sitting in the back of a car, being chauffeured around.
		He's wearing "aged" make-up, but he looks more like a Dick Tracy villain than an old man. Picture Pruneface with Bon Jovi hair circa the "New Jersey" album.
		In a voice-over he says "The shield...25 years ago it was our savior." Uh, we read the caption earlier, thanks.
