Mar 10, 2026The Dick Tracy St. Patrick’s Day Special offers two very different stories that explore crime, justice, and the people caught in between. The opening tale leans into noir territory with a morally complicated killer targeting wealthy criminals who have escaped punishment. The mystery unfolds through solid detective work and sharp visuals that capture the darker tone of the story. The second story shifts gears toward something more whimsical with a lonely taxi driver and a possible leprechaun encounter, delivering charm and humor through expressive artwork and playful storytelling. While Dick Tracy himself stays somewhat on the sidelines, both stories provide an entertaining mix of crime drama and oddball holiday flavor that makes the special feel unique. Read Full Review

Mar 09, 2026Dick Tracy is a fairly well-known quantity. It’s crime fiction with a hardboiled aesthetic but less moral relativism–a lovingly idealized pulp detective. Dick Tracy St. Patrick’s Day Special #1 is a great look at what the current Dick Tracy series is doing. Fans of crime fiction should absolutely give this easy to digest one-shot a look.

The main story isn't very good. It's a quick and easy mystery without much meat to it. I do like the art. However, the backup story was really good. It's about an Amazon-type woman who goes for short, men with an overblown ego. Did she fall for a real Leprechaun?
