Mad Cave Studios have just announced that DICK TRACY # 1 has officially sold out at the distributor level, and will be getting a second printing featuring an all-new cover from acclaimed artist Michael Walsh.

We reviewed the first issue when it went on sale April 24th, calling it “a dark, hardboiled detective comic from a creative team that is clearly having an absolute blast”, and it’s clear that a lot of other people agreed with us, making it Mad Cave’s biggest launch ever!

For those who missed it first time, here’s the official blurb:

In the aftermath of World War II, the country stands frozen–waiting for the next shoe to drop. In The City, a brutal murder draws the attention of rising star detective Dick Tracy, who soon discovers the bloodshed is just the beginning of a complicated web that threatens to ensnare everything he cares about.

Blending the classic elements of the Dick Tracy world (including his iconic villains, supporting cast, and unforgettable watch radio) with a hardboiled and realistic take, DICK TRACY # 1 kicks off a fresh and modern approach on the iconic detective that remains true to his rich history.

“I’m so thankful and blown away by the support Dick Tracy # 1 has received—from retailers, readers, reviewers, and beyond,” said co-writer Alex Segura. “It validates our belief in the take that Michael, Geraldo, Mark, Jim, Chantelle and the entire team has created, which celebrates the man in yellow’s storied history and adds a new voice and chapter to his story and world. And we’re just getting started!”

“We all took a gamble with this series, in a lot of different ways, but sometimes gambles pay off—and this is one of those times,” added co-writer Michael Moreci. “Our goal is to keep Dick Tracy going for years, and this success brings us closer to that goal; I’m so grateful for that and also excited for what the future of our story holds.”

Featuring artwork from Geraldo Borges, colours from Mark Englert and lettering by Jim Campbell, the second printing of DICK TRACY # 1 goes on sale June 12th, perfectly timed with the release of Dick Tracy # 2!
