Red Barry: Undercover Man Volume 1

Red Barry was one of the most visually innovative adventure strips of the mid-1930s, combining fluid brushwork and noir shadows (in bold blues and purples) with figures that were constantly in motion, plus a level of violence that brought cries of protest from its syndicate. Red Barry and Secret Agent X-9 were King Featuresâ€™ answers to the Tribune Syndicateâ€™s popular Dick Tracy by Chester Gould. While X-9 continued for decades under hands of various quality, Red Barry by Will Gould (no relation to Chester) was an auteurâ€™s vision that lasted less than four years (primarily because Gould couldnâ€™t meet his deadlines). Regardless, it is today considered one of comics historyâ€™s great unsung masterpieces, one which famed mystery writer Anthony Boucher said was â€œthe only detectives stripâ€¦worthy of any consideration from my scholarly viewpoint.â€ This two-volume series will reprint the complete dailies and color Sundays.
