  • Dick Tracy – The Secret Files is a short story anthology edited by Max Allan Collins and Martin H. Greenberg containing sixteen prose stories about Tracy by famous mystery writers as well as writers primarily known in other literary genres. It was published by Tor Books in 1990, and was timed to appear at approximately the same time that Collins’s novelization of the 1990 film appeared in bookstores. The inspiration for an anthology of short stories by various authors had previously been successful with other characters, including Batman, Philip Marlowe, and Sherlock Holmes. The contributors to The Secret Files include four winners of the Edgar Award given by the Mystery Writers of America; one winner of, and two finalists for, the Bram Stoker Sward given by the Horror Writers of America; two winners of the Shamus Award given by the Private Eye Writers of America; one winner of the Spur Award given by the Western Writers of America; one winner of the Hugo Award given by the World Science Fiction Convention; and one winner of the Nebula Award given by the Science Fiction Writers of America. The stories are arranged in “chronological” order, starting with stories set during the 1930’s, the decade in which Tracy was introduced, and continuing through the "present day." Story types ranged from fair-play puzzle/whodunits to fast-action thrillers.While the stories in the collection are inspired by the events of the strip, they are not considered to be in continuity.
