Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 06, 2018

Good morning™, enemy of the Apparatus!

Polar Vortex apparently likes the cold. Mysta could function in his environment! He has that vortex thing happening with his hair, too (but it’s as white as snow).

“Mr. Freeze”™

Wind-swept hair design.

Peter Cushing?

William Hartnell?

Snow Meiser?

Good morning™, Terrible Ivans !

This would be Victor Fries, had he not gone through the transformation. …As demonstrated in the ’90s Batman cartoons.

Let’s see……“Polar Vortex” wants to pick a fight with both The Apparatus AND Dick Tracy and it seems he’s from Siberia.

This should be interesting…..either he’s nuts or has something awesome to back up his seemingly suicidal bravery.

Also interesting his female “henchwoman” is named Devil….

It should be very interesting to see how much this arc will draw from “Peter and the Wolf” if any. Who else remembers “The Three Investigators” books from the ‘70s? I’d like to see Honeymoon and Crystal make a friend at music class in school to become the trio of “Peter”, “Duck” (as in ugly duckling), and “Bird”. Lafayette is the new (Grand)Father, of course, who will try and dissuade any juvenile crimefighting. And does that mean Crystal (Duck) gets kidnapped!?! The two hunters are Dick Tracy and…? Because of her undercover knowledge I’d like to see Lee Ebony/T-Bolt ride shotgun with Tracy for this one.

Good to see Ernest Thesiger back from the dead.

It’s the cool, cruel Mister Freeze! ;-D

His use of “Cossack” as an epithet reminds me of Chekhov on Star Trek.

Related, perhaps?

Which means these hairballs are selling drugs to school kids.

So he’s not afraid of Dick Tracy, eh? Well, he will be. He will be.

he’s a ringer for eli wallach’s version of mr freeze with a touch of Pietro Maximoff thrown in… now it would be GREAT if Torcher was revealed to still be alive after faking his own death in a flaming car crash in an alley years ago…after all, he DID make the turn and crash before sam/tracy/whoever caught up with him and he WAS an arsonist so setting his car on fire wouldnt be out of the norm for him… team Torcher with Polar Vortex and you got a winning combo!

Well, I don’t see this ending warmly. (ahems) He’s attacking 2 fronts? Going against the Apparatus, or Dick Tracy?

He has a Russian real name, probably came from Siberia. It’s always cold there.

That cranked AC is child’s play. Mysta loves far colder climes, as her “chill room” at Diet Smith Industries testifies. Vortex does not fear the Apparatus or Tracy, but he’s never met the Chimera.

Polar Vortex is certainly leaving a big carbon footprint.

I’m Mister White Christmas… I’m Mister Snow… I’m Mister Icicle… I’m Mister Ten Below… Friends call me Snow Miser… What ever I touch… Turns to snow in my clutch… I’m too much!

Piotr Volkov enjoys a _cool breeze, which leaves him with wind-swept hair. Interestingly, his devilish accomplice, Devilia (or, today, just plain “Devil”), has similar hair effects, though she would presumably favor rather warmer weather. He is a Russian who seems to denigrate Cossacks (an attitude shared among some Russians, but not all) and, naturally, Tracy. He has a certain panache, and some possibly reckless courage, being willing to take on the Apparatus and the MCU all at once. In fact, he seems pretty cocky for “the new dealer” in town….

You can’t call him that in a family comic! I can’t believe—oh.
