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.

By the way, Mike Curtis said recently in the Dick Tracy Yahoo! group that the final battle in this storyline will kick off in a Sunday strip on 7-8-12. Looks like we still have a month of twists and turns to go. Buckle up, boys and girls!

Panda should do Society a favor and feed himself to that goofball plant.

A lovingly-nurtured pair of carnivorous vines with a special taste for Long Pig! And the Mushroom Lady to care for them.

I am surprised that Panda has not yet got the next several hits all mapped out!

I’m glad Team Tracy is taking its time with this one. There’s no hurry to end a storyline as well thought out as this one. And that plant may well end up eating Panda in the end, we’ll see. (And it might spit him out as well!)

It’s nice to see the Mushroom Lady is still alive; according to an earlier erroneous report, she had died in prison. (An old Collins/Fletcher Rogues Gallery entry.)

#10!! lol… i’m thinking that either mumbles or little face will be chosen as the muerte vine’s next meal. btw, add the mushroom lady to the list fo villains and NOW we’re at TEN.. i think.. so there may be some surviving criminals after the gunfight!

Some villains have to survive to return and harass Tracy in the future

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Panda were to be the accidental victim?

Apparently, a “real meal” must be alive to satisfy the plant? That would be very odd, if true!
