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 Detectives!
Great to see Diet Smith still alive and kicking. Hope he plays a central role in the story.

For those who missed my late post yesterday — we’re having a Moon Maid avatar contest!
There are some really good ones already, but how about the rest of you? We’ll give it until midnight CT Thursday night to let new people put their avatars together, and then we’ll have a vote.
Three categories: 1) Sexiest; 2) Most creative; 3) Best overall
Let’s do this and show Mike Curtis and Joe Staton we want Mysta to stick around for good!!

Good morning all…
So DT thinks Diet has been joyriding in the space coupe again and picking up hitchhikers along the way, eh?

Tracy obviously suspects the new Moon Maid is a different moon woman. Can’t wait to see what Diet says! (Nice Gouldian cliffhanger effect to make us come back tomorrow…..)

I recall that Diet Smith had taken Moon Maid under his wing, and was an important part of her life. It would make sense that he is a part of this story arc. I have always like Diet Smith.

Diet Smith is exactly the first place I expected Tracy to go for information. If he doesn’t know what’s going on, you can bet he can help Tracy find out!
