Mad Cave Studios To Celebrate Valentines Day 2025 With ‘Dick Tracy’ Special
by Brendan M. Allen
Mad Cave Studios has announced a Valentine’s Day mystery with Dick Tracy’s Valentine Special, coming February 2025.
The crime-fighting legacy of the iconic detective in the yellow jacket continues in the Valentine’s Day Special’s two original tales.
Hollywood Babylon features ongoing series authors Alex Segura and Michael Moreci with artist Craig Cermak.
When a string of murders occurs on the set of a romantic movie filming in The City, Dick Tracy is on the case. In this world of glitz and glamor, where everyone tells a story but no one tells the truth, Tracy races against the clock to separate fact from fiction and stop this killer before they fulfill their promise to strike again, on Valentine’s Day.
Heartbreak Alley features the creative talents of writer Steve Orlando and artist Brent Schoonover.
While investigating a series of bizarre deaths, Dick Tracy finds himself transported into the life of his dreams. But what is lurking behind this locus of love?
This holiday special features colors by Mark Englert and lettering by Jim Campbell. The issue features a main cover by Geraldo Borges and a variant by Paulina Ganucheau.
“It’s been wonderful to see readers responding to our work on the Dick Tracy ongoing, and even better to have our friends at Mad Cave let us expand the publishing program to include fun one-off stories, like the Dick Tracy Valentine’s Special,” said Alex Segura. “Getting to pair with an artist like Craig, an old friend who is on the cusp of breaking out in a big way, to tell a memorable story featuring Dick Tracy and Tess has been a true thrill. We hope readers new and old get a kick out of it.”
“We’ve been so grateful for the success of Dick Tracy. Our readers have been so enthusiastic and loyal, and, to me, this feels like an issue made with them in mind,” added Michael Moreci. “It’s our most ‘throwback’ Dick Tracy story, and it’s a ton of fun. I think readers are going to have a blast with this one.”
Dick Tracy Valentine’s Day Special hits spinner racks on February 12th, 2025.
