Editing List of Dick Tracy stories in GoComics

[http://www.gocomics.com/ GoComics] is a website that publishes hundreds of comic strips online. It's been publishing every strip of ''Dick Trac''y since mid-April 2001 and has an archive of every Tracy strip it has ever published. 

This page lists every ''Dick Tracy'' story that can be found online at GoComics. Each story is named after the main villain or villains unless the main villain just wasn't the story's emphasis. If the story wasn't the first story a criminal was the main villain of, the villain's name will be followed by a "II" and so on. If more than one villain had been the main villain of a previous story, all the villains' names will title the story.

== The Mike Kilian era ==

When Dick Tracy was first published in GoComics, [[Mike Kilian]] was the writer of the strip while [[Dick Locher]] was the artist.

==='''2001'''===

* The Airplane Murder Mystery (March 29-June 20)

The earliest strip on GoComics is Sunday, [http://www.gocomics.com/dicktracy/2001/4/8 April 8, 2001]. GoComics then skipped a week to the next Sunday, April 15, then skipped the next couple of days to Wednesday, April 18. While this means GoComics doesn't have every strip from this first story, it does have every strip from April 18th, 2001 to the present.

Here, he and a family went missing, and Tracy was left to wonder if Harry had returned to crime. This led to reprinting the entire original Hard Case Harry story that ran from December 13, 1993-January 23, 1994, before this second Hard Case Harry mystery was solved.

Abner Kadaver is in a unique position among Tracy villains. As a professional hitman, he’s always taking orders from somebody, and they’ve always been main villains in their own right. So technically, Abner is never the “main” villain. But there are stories where he is the main focus, and whenever that is, his name will be '''boldfaced.'''
