Well, for me, Buck Ryan in the fifties is better than Dick Tracy. I mean, Gould aims to a metaphisic idea of Evil, incarnated in more and more grotesque (and less and less credible) villains. I’m more down to earth. Also the landascapes are always to much stylized for my taste. To say nothing of his weltanschauung , typical of the American Republicans, that I dislike. Otherwise, in Buck Ryan I find the real world of the little delinquents, nor too bad or too good. become such more by necessity than by vocation. And the landscape is real: the alleys, the little shops, the countryside, ever represented with minuteness.
Yes, it is true, in the stories there are references to reality, which today often go unnoticed. By the way: Twilight is my favorite character. Now I'm working on some other interesting stories where she is the absolute protagonist.
Very soon on these screens!
