The Comics Beat is reporting that the Dick Tracy comic book project has been revived at IDW and that Rich Tommaso along with Mike, Lee and Laura Allred will team up to make it happen.
From the CB story:
The story has an unspecified time period, but don’t expect any kind of attempt at modernizing the concept in terms of timeframe, as it will look 1940’s through and through, especially when it comes to cars, clothing, and airplanes…this is the Dick Tracy you know and love. Even down to the freakish looking bad guys. When Rick was showing me his original art for the project, I got a great look at his Big Boy and Flattop, and we are definitely in for a treat when the series begins this September.
At least Hermes Press will still do the Dick Tracy graphic novel slated for late Summer 2019.
