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.

I’m sorry Bill, but I don’t get it. Can you explain it for me?

I like my grits in a bowl with scrambled eggs, ham/sausage, and grated cheddar mixed in. Yum!

Tarry Plaguer, in the original War of the Worlds book, there’s a British Navy ironclad called The Thunderchild which succeeds in destroying at least one Martian war machine.
Flight Suit said, 7 months ago
The Thunderchild’s attack on the Martians is seen in Pendragon Pictures’ 2005 film, “The War of the Worlds,” which should not be confused with the Tom Cruise film from the same year, nor the direct-to-video “War of the Worlds” which also came out in 2005.

And I thought it was a product endorsed by a certain pro wrestler we might remember. Patty Cure was a good promoter you know…

That’s what I thought as well.

@coldsooner
I concur with coldsooner; I thought of the wrestler (and then I thought of Jerry “The King” Lawler, who, last I read, is recovering nicely from his September on-air heart attack). I might add that I also agree with Mike Humbert that something bad is going to happen, either to Sparkle or to Gravel Gertie.

This is Dick Tracy. Of course something bad is going to happen. Gertie is a tough old bird and if somebody tries something on her, well—- the last time something bad happened to the bad guys. Something to do with bear traps.

I sure hope JR. will not be losing this wife the way he lost MM with a car bomb…I would hate to have to wait another 40 years to see Sparkle come back again too.
