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.

Lizz looks great with longer hair, and Lee Ebony is beautifully drawn in panel three.

It’s not Mrs. Flattop, It is Mr. Pops.

Yes on Lizz.

The MCU is shaping up: an awesome cop shop!
And, yes, both Lizz and Lee are looking good. Sam’s doing great detective work, and Chief Patton is giving sound direction!

Ditto on Lizz. Her hair grows awfully fast though, ya think? At this rate, she’ll have the ponytail of Stiletta in no time!

Where’s Fritz Ann? Probably not far from Sam!

Luckily for Sam, Fritz Ann’s probably back at the FBI.

Sam is smoking? For shame showing that in a comic strip.

Yeah, just seeing Sam smoking in a comic strip makes me want to start smoking myself.

Number 12, next stop top ten! Love the steel trap minds of Patton and Catchem. They’ll have Tracy back in no time.

Ever since Sam was introduced in 1949, he has been depicted with a cigarette dangling off his lip. There has been major discussion in the past, on this forum, about Sam’s smoking. Most fans seem to feel it’s just part of who Sam is, and he should keep on. I personally wish the writers could find a credible way to have him quit, because I know how miserable it is to be in the same room with someone who is constantly puffing on a cigarette. And, I have always liked Sam as a character, otherwise. He is a great cop, has a good sense of humor, is faithful and loyal. These are all story book characters, but we care about them because they are well written. And I care about Sam, so I wish he could decide to give up smoking!

I like the chief’s logic in keeping Tracy’s disappearance quiet.
Have to wonder if Tess is going to be actively involved in the search. After the raid on Mr. Crime’s HQ, I can’t imagine her just sitting back and waiting for the MCU to find him!

Of course, everybody in the MCU would be preoccupied with Tracy’s whereabouts, but have they heard about what happened at a certain ATM yesterday? Surely, it must have been on the news at 11, since the camera guy got an exclusive by being in the right place at the right time.
