Yes!
I grew up a Southsider, and I really enjoyed the Dick Tracy comic strip in the Chicago Tribune.
Dick Tracy is what got me hooked on Batman, with the unique rogues!
The Tribune needs to settle with Warren Beatty so we can get back on track with a film franchise.
Wasn't Dick Tracy parodied in NEC's The Tick?
Just in case you're unaware -- former DC artist Joe Staton has been drawing thr Dick Tracy strip for the last couple of years, and he did a "sort-of" Batman crossover from November 2012 through January 2013. It began here: http://www.gocomics.com/dicktracy/2012/11/17
Even before I saw the other Bob's comment and link, I was thinking that some of Batman's foes could be good for Dick Tracy: the Penguin (as suggested in the strip), Two-Face, Baby Doll, perhaps the Joker and the Ventriloquist, and probably at least a couple of others that I'm either not thinking of or not aware of.
Yeah, Flattop Jones taking a gig with Scarface's gang seems like just the thing.
Man, this is another one of those team-ups I never would have dreamed about but would read to death. If you do a follow up, team up Tracy with her dad and title it Report to the Commissioner.
As it happens, I was just working on a Commissioner Gordon cover the other day. Also, Tracy will be crossing paths with more of the Bat-Family...
"... Dominoed Daredoll?"
"Keeping Tabs On Babs!"
Yeah, you're awesome! I have been planning a superhero themed RPG campaign run, and my current plan is to base all the adventures on different covers from this blog!
Sounds cool , Jeff!
Actually, while Tracy's rogue's gallery may have inspired Batman's, I've long suspected that Tracy himself was an unpublished concept left behind by Charles Dickens. The poor but honest man asked to join the police force after beating up some crooks (seriously, he had no other qualifications) plus a supporting cast of friends and enemies whose names double as physical descriptions? Sounds like most Dickens novels to me.
