GoComics is a website that publishes hundreds of comic strips online. It's been publishing every strip of Dick Tracy 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, 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.

2002

2003

Hard Case Harry was an ex-convict who had served a harsher sentence than Tracy felt he deserved. In an earlier story, he sought revenge on Tracy, but got a chance to reform. 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.

2004

2005

  • Dick Tracy in the Southwest (May 28-August 11)

Mike Kilian died in late 2005. The last daily strip with his signature on it is Saturday, January 7, 2006. The last Sunday strip with his signature on it is January 15. Dick Locher completed the rest of the Oily story and took over as writer of the strip.

The Dick Locher era

The following stories were written by Dick Locher:

2006

2007

The Mike Curtis era

The following stories were written by Mike Curtis, with art by Joe Staton, assisted by Shelley Pleger and Shane Fisher:

2011

  • The Retelling of Tracy’s First Case (September 18-October 23)

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.

Note: Calling Dick Tracy! Vol. 1 covers March 14 to July 30

2012

  • The Second Mr. Crime, B-B Eyes, Blaze Rize, Mumbles, Doubleup, & Abner Kadaver II (April 25-July 20)

2015

  • Silver & Sprocket Nitrate and Mrs. Flattop (January 19-March 21)
  • The Great Train Robbery (March 22-June 13)

2017

  • Silver & Sprocket Nitrate II (July 26 - November 15)

Sawtooth, like Abner Kadaver, is a professional hitman who gets enough focus and agenda for one story to earn a boldface in the title for that story.
