DICK TRACY #16
Launches a Brutal New Arc
The World’s Greatest Detective Is Pushed to the Edge, And the Truth May Be the One Thing He Can’t Outrun
Mad Cave Studios kicks off a pivotal new story arc with DICK TRACY #16 that will turn the screws tighter than ever, pushing the iconic detective into a battle that cuts deeper than any other case he’s faced before!
From acclaimed series writers Alex Segura and Michael Moreci, joined by artist Geraldo Borges (Green Lantern Corps), colorist Mark Englert (Capes), and letterer Patrick Brosseau, with a variant cover by Mahmud Asrar (X-Men, Conan), this next chapter marks a true turning point in the series, one where long-buried threads resurface, alliances shift, and the one thing Tracy has always relied on may no longer hold.
THE STREETS OF THE CITY RUN RED!
As Dick Tracy struggles to get back on his feet after the cataclysmic conclusion of #15, forces beyond his control conspire and align to destroy him – and everything he holds dear!
It’s all been building to this – as the acclaimed and best-selling DICK TRACY series continues to up the ante for fans! Can the City – and Tracy – survive a brutal gang war? We find out here can only mean one thing: violence is on the horizon…who will survive it?
For the writing team, this arc marks the payoff of everything they’ve been building—raising the stakes and closing in on Tracy from every angle.
“It’s all been building to this,” said Alex Segura. “Michael and I have been planting seeds and plot threads since the first Dick Tracy issue, and many, if not all, will pay off in this arc, as someone pulls every lever to destroy the one thing that Dick Tracy can’t live without—his reputation.”
Michael Moreci added, “This is a huge, game-changing arc for the Dick Tracy story, and those who have been with us since the beginning are going to be very, very satisfied with where the story lands.”
This new arc delivers a payoff-driven crime saga layered with moral tension and the kind of slow burn that defines the best detective fiction. A true classic noir with a modern edge will find plenty to sink into!
Dick Tracy #16 hits the streets (and comic shops) on April 8, 2026.
