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.

It ain’t over til it’s over! Measles might have one more trick up his sleeve,,,

@Mike Humbert
I think all he’ll have up his sleeve are those patches.

I hope he escapes so Tracy can track him down in the best Gouldian tradition, but, I figure he’s already dead.

Mornin’ VistaBill!
Considering we thought the story was about over when Tracy wounded him, I’m not counting Measles out yet – he can still do some damage.
But escaping from all those cops…?

Kind of thinking that a lot of people were right about that suicide by patches (or gun).

Oh wow, I didn’t just read it, I could actually HEAR Tracy with his, “OH YES.” And yes, there’s no way Measles could get away now, unless he’s already gone…..

Another great strip, with the second panel especially fine. It’s always good to see Sam. Measles is patched and dispatched.
