Description

Pete Poplaski turns ordinary looking white-collar criminals into a rogues� gallery suitable for Dick Tracy in this terrific cover for the short-lived �underground� comic, Corporate Crime. (Two issues, two years apart in 1977 and 1979.)

I�ve said plenty about Pete previously, but it deserves repeating: It�s amazing how he manages to capture so many classic art styles, so well. His originals (and I�m grateful that I own a few) are astonishing.

Seeing this cover for the first time a few months ago made me wistful that we (IDW Publishing) never pitched DC a Batman / Dick Tracy crossover set as a period piece in the 40s. Not sure if Pete would have been up for illustrating an entire series, But I certainly would have hired him for the covers.

I believe Mad Cave currently has the Tracy rights: Guys, it�s never too late.

Very cool cover, Greg. I met Pete at a get together at Steve Smith's house in 2013 during the Windy City Pulp and Paper show and he regaled us all with fun stories. A very nice chap, indeed.

Not realistic at all. Point all you want peasants, modern day white collar criminals have no shame and thrive knowing the system works for them. These crime comics should incorporate 50's supernatural horror for some true comeuppance.
