Red Handed: The Fine Art of Strange Crimes is a graphic novel written and drawn by Matt Kindt (Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E.), published in 2013 by First Second.Crime in the city of Red Wheel Barrow is rising. Yet no one in the city gets away with a crime. This is all due to the efforts of single-minded Detective Gould, his crack force, and his amazing gadgets.Yet someone isn't happy with the way Gould works. A conspiracy takes form in order to shake Gould's confidence in the absolute difference between right and wrong.Unrelated to the 2007 novel.

comment
Painting the Medium: The book includes bits of story told through newspaper front pages, comic strips, and book covers, in addition to Kindt's deliberately sketchy style.

Deadly Prank
 Red Handed (Comic Book) / int_952f8f26
comment
Deadly Prank: Tess manipulates events and guides the actions of criminals in Red Wheel Barrow in order to murder Annalyse Gould, but she seems genuinely shocked that it actually worked out that way, and primarily seems to have been trying to prove a point.

Black-and-White Insanity
 Red Handed (Comic Book) / int_a808063f
comment
Black-and-White Insanity: Gould sees an absolute division between good, law-abiding people and evil criminals, not admitting to any nuance. Notably in the Hannibal Lecture sequences, the lettering in his dialog balloons is black and typed, while his interrogator has grey, pencil-like letters.

Idiosyncrazy: Some of the criminals, but especially the waitress with a compulsion to steal chairs. She quits her job by unbolting a stool at the diner and plans to steal the city's electric chair.

Shout-Out
 Red Handed (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Dick Tracy gets a few. The name "Gould", as in "Chester" is one. Also, there's a lead character named "Tess", whose life story is told through a comic strip called "Tess's True Heart". The city of Red Wheel Barrow takes its name from a famous poem by William Carlos Williams. ("So much depends upon...") The secluded area in the woods where Gould shoots Tess closely resembles the place where Tom Reagan was supposed to shoot Bernie in Miller's Crossing.

Hannibal Lecture
 Red Handed (Comic Book) / int_e1fa333c
comment
Hannibal Lecture: Tess tries to break Gould while being held captive by him, which could be seen as either a success or a failure. He shoots her dead, but the book's denouement shows that he's also changed his approach to police work in the wake of what's happened.

Expy: Gould's suit and technology mark him as an expy of Dick Tracy, and he's named after Tracy's creator, Chester Gould.

Vigilante Execution: Detective Gould executes Tess for the killing of his wife. Implicitly, this is the reason he demotes himself back to walking a beat.
