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 is clearly being punished for sneaking product for himself.
Now can we PLEASE get back to Moon Maid?

I love the use of shadows. I love the mounting tensions. And I especially love Moon Maid!

Tension’s mounting all right. Between Bookie and Measles, and for Mysta’s next visit!

“I love the use of shadows.”
It’s looking more and more like a page from DC Comics! Great tension.

The Weed of Crime bears bitter fruit! Crime does not pay! The Shadow knows! Ah-hahahahaha!
—Well, some commentators mentioned ’shadows," and that set off my thoughts….

It looks like the GoComics colorist has struck again. In Panel two, those are the headlights of the car. (sigh)

Good Morning everyone! Up early to read today’s strip. Great job with the shadowing. Wonder how the Plenty family is taking to Li’l Attitude’s visit.

I’m really digging this week’s strips w/ Measles. And today’s art is very Gould— chiaroscuro composition w/ shadowy figures scuttling around in the night…set against in the cold indifferent big city. + Mike’s writing forte w/ character inter-relationships.
I prefer my DT more 100 BULLETS, less Alley Oop sci-fi. But that’s just my opinion.
