Dick Tracy is an American comic strip featuring Dick Tracy, a tough and intelligent Police Detective created by Chester Gould. The comic strip made its debut on Sunday, October 4, 1931, in the Detroit Mirror and was distributed by the Chicago Tribune New York News Syndicate. Gould wrote and drew the strip until 1977 and various artists and writers have continued it.
Dick Tracy has also been the hero in a number of films, including Dick Tracy in which Warren Beatty played the lead in 1990. Tom De Haven praised Gould's Dick Tracy as an "outrageously funny American Gothic", while Brian Walker described it as a "ghoulishly entertaining creation" which had "gripping stories filled with violence and pathos".
