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.

Stiletta has the crazy eyes! Now she scares me!
I was right on the money about her motive… ;-)

Tracy had nothing to do with Flattop Jr’s death. Twas Liz who bagged him.

Lizz was working for Tracy when she shot Flattop Jr. And it was Tracy’s implacable pursuit that drove him to flight, and possbily (at least from Stilleta’s viewpoint) drove him mad.

I agree, great work on the strip today. And never fear, I’m sure we’ll see Moon Maid again. Soon I hope. They really teased us with that quick appearance, though, didn’t they?

Speaking of Moon Maid, I’ve always wondered where she gets her amazing wardrobe. Plus now that I’m older, I wonder even more how she got away with wearing that sexy costume on the job. Bunny corset plus thigh high red boots plus red dinner gloves is not exactly standard police issue. On the other hand, who was going to tell her no? WHY would anyone tell her no? ;-)
Funny how the mind ponders the really important issues of life late at night….

I hope the drained blood is donated and not wasted.

Neo-vampirism is just the least of Stiletta’s dastardly scheme. Nonetheless, I sure hope the MCU moves quickly, before she begins to inflict her sick revenges on our jut-jawed hero. She is freaky-deaky!

To Jim Doherty: the remorse over having killed poor Skinny who LOVED him drove Flattop Jr mad. The ghost of Skinny was symbolic (and why 88 Keyes, Spots and Haf and Haf didn’t have the ghosts of their victims persecuting them? )

After watching what Moon Maid did with that thugs gun, I’d love to see what she could do with Stiletta’s knives. That would be fun.
