DICK TRACY NEARLY
550 SEQUENTIAL COMICS MARCH 1950 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 1951 Chester Gould (1900–1985) was born in Pawnee, Oklahoma. He attended Oklahoma A&M (now Oklahoma State University) before transferring to Northwestern University in Chicago, from which he was graduated in 1923. He produced the minor comic strips Fillum Fables and The Radio Catts before striking it big with Dick Tracy in 1931. Originally titled Plainclothes Tracy, the rechristened strip became one of the most successful and lauded comic strips of all time, as well as a media and merchandising sensation. He was twice accorded the “Cartoonist of the Year” Reuben Award by his peers. Gould continued to write and illustrate Dick Tracy until his retirement in 1977.
