Kyle Baker's Dick Tracy

Book one of Kyle Baker's 1990 Dick Tracy miniseries was one of the first comics I ever bought. The third issue was pretty much a straight adaptation of the movie with the first two issues acting as a prequel. Baker's line is so clean and loose but at the same time he's still able to capture the sharp unique look of the characters as designed by Chester Gould (with the exception of Dick Tracy himself who had to look like Warren Beatty).

Some pages from the last issue of the "Static Shock" miniseries by John Paul Leon. I believe this was the last comic from the Milestone Universe. There's been some rumors over the past year that Milestone might be coming back. Fingers crossed!
