Dick Tracy Goes to War in a New Veterans Day Special

Posted on by Leave a comment

Before the yellow coat, the badge, and a lifetime spent chasing criminals, Dick Tracy was a soldier.

Mad Cave Studios and Tribune Content Agency returns to the past in Dick Tracy: Veterans Day Special, a 40-page standalone story from writers Alex Segura, Michael Moreci, and Keir Graff, with art by Francesco Scimonelli, colors by Marissa Louise, and letters by Patrick Brosseau, featuring a main cover by Geraldo Borges and a variant cover by Francesco Scimonelli.

Dick Tracy is a soldier on the front lines of the deadliest conflict the world’s ever seen. Today’s assignment is supposed to be easy: Dick’s assigned to protect a camera crew gathering footage of the glories of battle. But there is nothing glorious about war. And this one will haunt the detective-to-be for years to come. 

Set years before Tracy became the detective readers know, Dick Tracy: Veterans Day Special turns its attention to an earlier chapter of his life and an assignment that exposes the distance between the image of war and its reality. What begins as a straightforward protection detail becomes an experience Tracy will carry long after leaving the battlefield.

A standalone entry in Mad Cave Studios’ Dick Tracy universe, Dick Tracy: Veterans Day Special offers longtime readers a deeper look at the man behind the badge while giving new readers a self-contained entry point into the series.

Dick Tracy: Veterans Day Special goes on sale November 11, 2026 (FOC October 19).

The Only Survivor of a Legendary Killing Spree Must Face the Monster Who Refuses to Stay Dead in Hammer Head

Posted on by

Terror can’t be contained, and Mad Cave Studios resurrects one of horror’s deadliest nightmares with Hammer Head, the brutal new five-issue series from acclaimed collaborators, writer Ed Brisson and artist Damian Couceiro, with colors by Dee Cunniffe and letters by Patrick Brosseau.

For 20 years, Jules has been hiding from her past. As the only survivor of the Hammer Head killing spree, she carries the guilt and trauma of having watched as everyone she loved was brutally murdered. Every couple of years, Hammer Head rises from the dead to continue his reign of terror anew, and with each repeated massacre, Jules falls deeper into the warm embrace of her own dark coping mechanisms.

When she’s thrown into prison with no trial and no hope, Jules finds herself part of a dark ritual built to force her back into the past that she’s spent her life trying to escape.

The debut issue features Cover A by Damian Couceiro, Cover B by Justin Coffee, Cover C and Cover D by Bjorn Barends.

Blending supernatural horror with classic slasher thrills, Hammer Head is perfect for fans of Friday the 13th, Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Centered on the lone survivor of an endless cycle of massacres, the series delivers a fresh take on the unstoppable killer through the lens of trauma, survival, and the horrors that refuse to stay buried.

Hammer Head #1 goes on sale October 7, 2026, with Final Order Cut-off on September 14.
