By this point, the Dick Tracy comic strip had fallen into a bit of a rut. Tracy fights criminals, someone in the supporting cast is threatened/kidnapped/beaten/framed, and Tracy swoops in to save the day. Most of volume four follows this pattern, until the very last storyline, which introduces a "wild card" into the mix, a vengeance-filled killer named "The Blank," who appears to have no face. With the appearance of "The Blank," the book really picks up and becomes engaging, where the previous storylines were pretty mundane. Entertaining enough to read, I suppose, but mundane nonetheless. Volume four is probably the weakest so far, but the uptick of quality at the end bodes well for volume five.
