SAN DIEGO, CA (January 26, 2019) \u2013\u00a0IDW Publishing<\/strong>\u00a0is proud to announce the perfect pairing of acclaimed writer\/artist\u00a0Michael Avon Oeming<\/strong>\u00a0and pop culture\u2019s enduring icon of law and order in\u00a0Dick Tracy Forever<\/em><\/strong>, a four-issue miniseries debuting in April.<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0Forever<\/em>\u00a0series, Dick Tracy is the proverbial Sisyphus, pushing the law boulder up the hill as he struggles for reason and order in a world with none. His attempts at delivering justice are met with crime and chaos in the form of unpredictable and absurd villains. But Dick Tracy will never give up trying, no matter the era or incarnation\u2026 even when his startling new case defies all notions of time and space!<\/p>\n

Oeming says, “I’ve gotten to write and draw most of my bucket list characters, from The Spirit to Batman and more, but I never dreamed that Dick Tracy would even be a possibility. It feels completely natural and I cannot wait to show why he’s such a relevant character for all times.”<\/p>\n

“Michael Avon Oeming’s award-winning work in crime comics makes him the perfect creator to tackle one of the greatest crime-busters of all time,\u201d says\u00a0Denton Tipton<\/strong>, Group Editor at IDW. \u201cI promise you’ll never see\u00a0Dick Tracy<\/em>\u00a0the same after reading this series\u2026 and I mean that in a good way, wisenheimer!”<\/p>\n

Oeming will be joined on the\u00a0Dick Tracy Forever<\/em>\u00a0series by colorist\u00a0Taki Soma<\/strong>. For the debut issue, Oeming will provide the main cover and a noir-inspired spot color variant, with renowned illustrator\u00a0Kyle Baker<\/strong>\u00a0(Marvel Action: Black Panther<\/em>) contributing a special incentive cover variant, as well.<\/p>\n

“Mike Oeming is one of the greatest comic creators working today,\u201d says\u00a0Brian Michael Bendis<\/strong>, writer of\u00a0Superman<\/em>,\u00a0Powers<\/em>, and\u00a0Young Justice<\/em>. \u201cOeming on\u00a0Dick Tracy<\/em>? I\u2019ll take ten!”<\/p>\n
