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.

Mama mia! She’s lookin’ to do some serious violence to that grave stone!

Oh, oh!

That’s some hammer! Yet she’s holding it like it’s a toothpick. This woman has obviously been working out!

The real question is – why is she about to smash the headstone?
Is she one of Mysta’s relatives (her baby sister?), angry about her death? And if she is, what kind of threat does she pose to Tracy and his family?
There’s more to this story than just an electrically charged alien hottie.

I think its Honeymoon being possessed or sleepwalking.

Oh yeah, I have more questions than ever about this alien hottie. But in the short term, I can’t wait to see her swing that hammer! Mike Curtis said she was going to speak this time. Or is the hammer going to do the talking for her? :)

Yeah, except that Honeymoon is at least a foot shorter than this woman and has the body of a 12-year-old. Just can’t see that.

I should think that in Chicago in late September, with the wind off of the Lake, and dressed like that, that that young woman, whomever she may be, could use a large mug of hot cocoa.

I’m curious about something. If this obviously fine lady has come to destroy Mysta’s gravestone, why the hammer? Why not use her laser powers to melt the name off the stone, or even turn the whole thing to powder? And come to think of it, why don’t we see sparks flying out of her horns like we have every other time we’ve seen her? On the other hand, just the thought of her wielding a sledgehammer is downright exciting. So don’t take my curiosity as a complaint. The truth is I can’t wait to see her in action tomorrow!

The suspense is killing me! Is this Moon Maid? I HOPE so! I hope Team Tracy brings back this Moon babe! Looking HOTTER THAN EVER, and I didn’t think that was possible!

For once comic strip art coincides with real time; tonight is the full moon!

@SCOTTtheBADGER
I’d never in a million years complain about her outfit! :) Besides that, moon women are impervious to cold.

@60sFan
Hmm, good questions, 60sFan. But I agree it’ll be a whole lot more fun watching her swing that hammer around!
