Artist Joe Staton and writer Mike Curtis co-author "Dick Tracy," the classic comic strip distributed by Tribune Media Services.
Created by Chester Gould in 1931, "Dick Tracy" is one of America's most-enduring pop-cultural icons, noteworthy for its steadfast, chisel-jawed hero and the gruesome gallery of villains he and his fearless team of Crimestoppers must outwit to put behind bars.
When longtime "Dick Tracy" artist and writer Dick Locher retired from the strip after 32 years of meritorious service, fans Staton and Curtis jumped at the chance to don the yellow fedora and trench coat. Staton has been drawing comic books for many years and has more than 1,000 credits under his belt. Curtis, who has been writing comics since 1986, is the only former law-enforcement officer to work on "Dick Tracy." Both creators are excited about the new--and dangerous--adventures they have in store for Dick Tracy and his Crimestoppers.

I hate to say it, but I grow weary of all these inside jokes and not-at-all subtle “shout outs” and homages. A little subtlety will go a long way.

Delicious irony in Tracy’s preference for a parody of himself! —And for more Fosdick fun, including a look at the fedora he originally wore, until Capp had to replace it with a bowler for legal reasons: http://tinyurl.com/3g7cmle

This comic helps to keep my father alive. We Print this comic daily and have for quite some time now and this is the earliest that I have been able to print it. I appreciate the workmanship of all who are involved . My father is 80yo and loves Dick Tracy since 10cents (40,s) I am guessing. He currently is scrapbooking every comic on a daily basis. Thank you all…….Sincerely Burton Alspaugh Jr.

Who is Vera Alldid and “The Invisible Tribe” a parody of? Was she an old Dick Tracy character too?

Mark, please look at yesterdays comments for a complete run-down on Mr. Vera Alldid
Main point is: he is Sparkle Plenty’s ex-husband. Sparkle is now married to Junior Tracy who is Dick Tracy’s adopted son. This makes Vera Alldid the former husband of Dick Tracy’s daughter-in-law.
