abstract
  • Black Pearl Erad ("Dare" spelt backwards) was a black market weapons dealer. She was a slender woman with a long face and short dark hair. She had previously worked as a writer for a foreign-language newspaper in Dick Tracy's city. Pearl and her gang had a criminal enterprise that involved stealing government blueprints for war machines such as tanks. Pearl would then produce and test prototypes and then sell the finished models to the highest bidders, which were usually hostile foreign powers. When a bomb was found in a post office, it was taken to police headquarters and set off. The shrapnel inside was newspaper lettering, which led Dick Tracy to Pearl Erad, a.k.a. Black Pearl. Pearl kidnapped Pat Patton and Tracy and forced them to test one of her new war machines at her mountain proving grounds. Tracy and Patton were held hostage until they transmitted a warning in Morse code to a local water plant via a water pipe. It summoned the local police, who were able to subdue Pearl's forces. Pearl herself was captured by the undercover FBI agent Jim Trailer.
