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 love the drawing of Measles’ face in panel 1.

Nice touch with the moon glinting off of Measles’ gun in panel three.

How long can that coat keep on burning? How long can Measles keep on functioning? How long, I ask? Do not the night cops of the field dissuade him? Does he not know that surrender is the only way to save his life? To what unbridled ends will his dark ways lead him? Measles must be stopped!

Uh, you haven’t been handling those pain patches, by any chance…

Because they have him completely surrounded. Wouldn’t the better move, regarding the safety of the officers, be to hunker down and just wait him out. He is by a lonely tree in the middle of of a field. So, he cannot make an escape attempt without being seen.

Measles is stoned and seeing things.
NightShade09 said, 7 months ago
Let’s see… Measles has been (1) shot, (2) whacked with an axe, (3) set on fire, and now (4) he tries to square off against Tracy and Sam while overdoing a lot of serious chemicals.
So — when does he get hit by a lightning bolt?
(Of course. Sunday.)

PS: In the first panel, have the number of freckles on his forehead multiplied, or are the extras in reality, beads of sweat?
