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.

Good morning! I’m not drawing any conclusions just yet.

She looks great! Joe Staton did a great job in panel 2 capturing Moon Maid’s classic look, and her hair is great, too. I think I’m in love! But what’s with the mask?!

Moon Maid, relative, copycat, whoever. Matters not to me. She’s ANOTHER great link to the past and this reader approves. And she’s hot! Reminds me of cartoon royalty Jane Jetson singing “Won’t You Come Home Bill Spacely.” Yowzah indeed!

Moon Maid was my first “boyhood crush”! Okay I admitted it! I was already out of High School when she was killed off. I NEVER forgave that writer for doing that! Boycotted his novels and any of his work ever since. This probably isn’t Moon Maid, but the story will be so much fun! THANKS to the new DT team for making this strip so enjoyable again. I actually look forward to a comic strip again!

This masked, wasp-waisted vigilante, whoever she is, certainly looks good. But she can’t be Moon Maid, who is seriously dead! Let her rest in peace!
Eventually,we’ll learn who this relative/imposter/imitator/wannabe really is—even if it’s Honeymoon after a sudden and dramatic growth spurt!

All of the previous villains that we have been shown pre date me but now I am seeing the era I grew up in. Hooray!

Chief Brandon, the Mole, and now Moon Maid — Favorite characters that I never thought I’d see in the strip again (even if it’s not really her).
