These hardcover volumes measure 9.5 inches x 7 inches (242 mm × 178 mm) and had approximately 350 pages per volume and initially had an MSRP of $29.99, and were published by IDW Publishing. The books were edited and designed by Ted Adams, with cover design by Ashley Wood. Introductions were made by Max Allen Collins. The books collect black-and-white dailies and Sunday strips in chronological order. The books features an interview with the creator Chester Gould conducted by Max Allen Collins.[2][3]
After the first six volumes of the series, it was handed over by its editor and CEO of IDW Publishing, Ted Adams to the IDW imprint, The Library of American Comics. The new editor for the Dick Tracy reprint series became Dean Mullaney. As this transition happened it was also decided that the volumes would get an increase in size, in order to match the other LoAC book lines, and permit an increase of the comic strip art. A Sunday strip would, for example, be printed 40 percent larger in this new iteration of the series, compared to the size it had been printed before. The new cover design was also introduced, the introductory essays grew to become broader covering and more extensive, delivering a more complete history of the strip and its creator Gould. Contact was established with the Gould family, the Dick Tracy Museum and the Shel Dorf collection to get a hold of more archival material such as art and photographs.[4]Jeff Kersten started to contribute with afterword essays which places the Dick Tracy strip in historical context and elaborates on its cultural impact.[5][6]
