Chester Gould A Daughter's Biography of the Creator of Dick Tracy

"In 1931, the Chicago Tribune introduced the public to an exciting new comic strip destined to become a classic: Dick Tracy. Tracy's creator, Chester Gould, would spend the next 46 years of his life developing the dynamic, crime-fighting character, and his work on the strip won him the Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year in both 1959 and 1977." "A revolutionary in the comics industry, Gould invented both a genre and an icon. The personal story of this pioneer cartoonist is now presented in a biography written by Gould's only child. In this story of Gould's ambitions, disappointments, popular accomplishments, and family moments, the reader finds a thorough account of Chester Gould's life. Appendices include commentary from his two grandchildren and a comprehensive list of his awards and distinctions, which included formal recognition from three American presidents."--BOOK JACKET.Locher, Dick is the author of 'Chester Gould A Daughter's Biography of the Creator of Dick Tracy', published 2007 under ISBN 9780786428250 and ISBN 0786428252.
