Dick Tracy and The Atom (Part Three)

 

For the conclusion of this Three-Part Epic, we get our third Atom and the revelation as to who has been behind these time twisting shenanigans! Let's hope Tracy and Choi can put an end to Chronos' evil plans!

Dick Tracy and The Atom (Part Two)

 

For the second part of this three-part epic, We see that Tracy has tracked down Ray Palmer's whereabouts.  Who is the secret villain behind this case? Make sure you return tomorrow for the thrilling conclusion!

Dick Tracy and The Atom (Part One)

 As a short redhead growing up, I couldn't help but feel a certain kinship with Al Pratt.  I was glad to see him eventually prominently featured in All-Star Squadron. This tale is only Part One of a Three-Part Epic, so make sure you come back tomorrow for the next chapter!

Dick Tracy and Iron Fist

 

An odd couple to b sure, but it would be fun to see the city's top cop working alongside the martial arts master of K'un L'un...

Dick Tracy and Conan

 

Despite all of their differences, for some reason I think that these two could find some common ground. As long as they were up against a mutual enemy, anyway.

Dick Tracy and Shaft

 

Dick Tracy seems like the type of cop that would only work with a no nonsense partner.  John Shaft seems like he would fit the bill perfectly.  It might be pretty cool to see these two collaborate on a case or two.

 

Dick Tracy Vs. The Sinister Six

 

As cool as Dick Tracy's rogues gallery was, most of his villains did not live past their first adventure with the classic cop hero.  It's only natural that he would need to seek out new challenges once he worked through his personal roster of adversaries.  But how would he fare against the enhanced abilities of a half-dozen of Spider-Man's biggest foes?

Dick Tracy Vs. Two-Face

Harvey Dent is of course referring here to the events of STF #2497, where Tracy got the jump on a group of Bat-Villains. Let's see how things work out in a one-on-one confrontation, something that I am guessing they would both prefer for their own reasons.

Dick Tracy and Ace, The Bat-Hound

 

With Krypto confirmed for the upcoming Superman movie, I think it's high time for a live action Ace the Bat-Hound.  Whether as part of the new DCU iteration of Batman or an adaptation of Batman Beyond, we need to see the Dark Knight Dog do his thing.

Dick Tracy and Captain Marvel in: "Fisticuffs and Forensics!"

 

Maybe it's the squinty eyes, but these two always seem to fit together, despite the different types of stories that they get involved in. I can definitely see them forming a World's Finest type partnership.  Dick Tracy and Captain Marvel first met on the blog in STF #1322...

Dick Tracy and Green Arrow & Speedy

 

Chester Gould wrote and drew the Dick Tracy strip from the 30's to the 70's, and I imagine that kept him busy.  Still, it's a shame we never really saw him cross over and do any work for other comic book companies. How cool would it have been to see his take on characters like Green Arrow, Batman or Spider-Man - not to mention their rogues galleries?

Dick Tracy and Judge Dredd

 

It might be interesting to see how an old school cop reacts to the exaggerated world that Dredd inhabits.  Something tells me that he would soon learn to adapt and fit right in.  But is the world ready for Judge Tracy?  

Dick Tracy and The Rocketeer in: "100 Ways to Whack a Witness!"

 

Presenting yet another chapter in the Rats McTattler Saga!  Tracy and The Rocketeer were last seen dealing with him in STF #3551, and first encountered him and each other in STF #2805... Let's hope the third time is the charm and they finally get the necessary information out of him!

Dick Tracy and The Spectre

 

One of the best parts of John Ostrander's 90's Spectre series was the exploration of Jim Corrigan's early years.  I could see Dick Tracy fitting right in with those pre-Spectre tales, so a story like this might not be as far fetched as it might initially seem.  I'd read it, anyway.

Sub-Mariner meets Dick Tracy

 

Now that Namor has been introduced to the MCU, I wonder where he will show up next.  My choice would be for him to team up with Dr. Strange and The Hulk (and The Silver Surfer, if he shows up in Fantastic Four as has been rumored) for a Defenders movie.  That way, Marvel can get around the loophole that Hulk and Sub-Mariner cannot have their own solo films.  I'd also like to see him putting the moves on Sue Storm just as he has done in the comics.  

Calvin & Hobbes and Dick Tracy

 

Every once in a while, Bill Watterson would present a less cartoony style when depicting Calvin's imaginary adventures as Tracer Bullet, or even playing house with Suzie Derkins.  I was always impressed by those sequences - if Watterson had wanted to go with a sci-fi, detective, or superhero strip, he would have also found success based on his gorgeous illustrations.

Dick Tracy and Bullseye

 

 I enjoyed the Dick Tracy movie back in the day.  It's been decades since I've watched it, I wonder if it holds up.  One thing I remember that bothered me was they used so many different Tracy villains in one single film, killing most of them off - it seemed like a waste of potential there.  I still think a Dick Tracy streaming series would be a great idea, that way each villain could get an arc or at least an episode to themselves.

Space Cabbie and Dick Tracy

 

Uh oh, looks like Tracy may just be travelling outside of his jurisdiction! I was glad for the chance to use the artwork of Peter Snejbjerg here.  He impressed me during his run on the 90's Starman series.  I was lucky enough to pick up a couple of pages by him several years back featuring a bunch of different Starmen:

The Punisher and Dick Tracy

 

This is a confrontation I would like to see.  Tracy's extensive rogues gallery is filled with just the type of criminals that would attract the attention of Frank Castle - but a clash of tactics is sure to ensue.  There's definitely good story potential there.

Dick Tracy and The Rocketeer in: "The Case of the Dormant Informant!"

Regular visitors to this blog will know that this cover serves as a direct sequel to STF #2805, in which these two heroes first pursued Rats McTattler.  It looks like they weren't the only ones in hot pursuit!  I felt that the tale was worthy of a follow-up as these two pulp heroes really do seem to go well together.
