About The Book

A middle-grade reimagining of the legendary detective in yellow by award-winning writers Alex Segura & Michael Moreci and two-time Eisner nominated illustrator David Hahn.

DICK TRACY, KID DETECTIVE!

Twelve-year-old Dick Tracy's summer dream has just come true: He's been granted a scholarship to Camp Featherstone! An escape from the loud, hot city and a chance to make some new friends, Camp Featherstone offers swimming, canoeing, archery, marshmallow roasting, and more. It sounds too good to be true for the shy boy who spends most of his time reading detective novels.

And it IS. Because swimming and canoeing are not, it turns out, what the counselors have in mind for scholarship students. He thought he was here for summer vacation, but Dick Tracy's about to be in for the fight of his life.

Award-winning writers Alex Segura & Michael Moreci and two-time Eisner nominated illustrator David Hahn reimagine the detective in yellow for a whole new generation! With fan-familiar villains and allies and expressive, accessible storytelling, Dick Tracy Adventures is an adventure for all ages.
