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.

Measles should know better!

But the usual setup.

The plot thickens…

Measles, “working” in his trailer, doesn’t seem destined to last very long. Bookie is just a common thug/dealer. There’s got to be someone higher up running this operation. Retik?

Good Morning Detectives!
Mysterious Moon Maid sightings? Measles with a persistent headache? I can’t help but think these incidents are related.

Never get high on your own supply, Measles!

Tension’s building between these two. How far will it go?

@JerryH
I’m thinking the same thing. Measles looks none too pleased!

So glad Mysta’s back in the story. And I’m confident that Team Tracy will keep everything in balance and the fans happy.

And the last thing Bookie heard was, “Say hello to my little friend…”

Judging from the size of Bookie’s hands, Measles is gonna hafta rely on a piece….

Coldsooner, haha! I can hear Al Pacino now. Seriously, I could see this relationship unraveling fast.

is it just ME or in that last panel does measles look like he is looking back over his shoulder? i had to look closely to actually see his eyes facing forward towards bookie. gotta say tho, measles is looking a tad bit more masculine today than he did the last time we saw him. wouldnt it be a kick if measles’ “boss” turned out to be blaze rize who set herself up with the operation thanks to davey mylar’s money? (tho she looks like she could be his DAUGHTER lol)

Measles looked younger in Sunday’s strip but today’s art depicts him as the addict that I remember.
