There is something so satisfying about a creative team that you’d never expect working together perfectly, right out of the gate. That, my friends, is what happened when the Allreds (Lee, Michael, and Laura) teamed up with Rich Tommaso for “Dick Tracy: Dead or Alive.” The IDW book, which almost didn’t happen due to a mix-up with licensing that almost led to an Archie-published title. No offense to that creative team, but thank goodness this book is happening instead, as it is a pure delight to read. We are thrilled to share an exclusive first look at the second issue, due out on November 21st.
