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.

Great characterization with Themesong!

Always the tough little girl in her debut. Our team has continued that theme (so to speak).

So why should Phishface pick on Themesong in particular?
Sisyphos said, 9 months ago
Now we’ve got the tie-in. Themesong is one of the victims in Phishface’s phishing racket. It will be interesting to see how the MCU tackles electronic crime. Go, Tracy (and get your arm out of that sling soon)!

Who is Themesong’s “Old Man”?
Ashmael said, 9 months ago
It was her father Roach, killed by Shoulders.
Themesong has never heard of phishing and web scams? Bet she’s just arrived from the forties using a time machine!

Yes, her old man did know ‘em all, but he never used a computer. Wow, we’ve come a long way, baby.

No Nigeran Prince has ever sent a letter to her? Or someone purporting to beher bank (or any number of OTHER banks?)

@mrbribery
He’s not. She is just one of many musical artists being cheated out of their royalties by this scam! It shouldn’t be difficult to get the IP address of Phishface and Chum Lee.

I’m guessing she doesn’t do email either.

Very nice detail of Tess’ photograph on Tracy’s desk. And Themesong looks just like an adult version of her little girl character, also very nice artwork!

One detail that would have been cool if Mike had thought of it. . . Since Themesong has never heard of “phishing”, when Tracy mentioned it, she would have no way of knowing about the peculiar spelling. She would have naturally thought of “fishing”. . . it would have been clever if Mike had spelled it “fishing” in Themesong’s word balloon. Why IS it spelled weird when referring to the scam? Does anyone know?
