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.

Even if we never see the Penguin again (how great is it that he’s only in silhouette & never speaks), this is still THE best crossover ever!

Broadway and bro should team up with Sam to start a smoking club. I can’t see Sam using a cigarette holder, though.

I’m pretty sure that he will be leaving the city with the signal in the sky to go to the city of the man in the yellow coat and hat.

I stayed up late to get a glimpse of today’s strip. This is some seriously cool stuff. Blimey is right, Dick Tracy is unbelievably fun to read these days.

Somebody complained yesterday about re-introducing another old villain that they hadn’t heard about before. #1: Look him up! Google any info, if you are that flummoxed by this! #2: Broadway Bates is now being given a fresh introduction as the Penguin’s brother! Run with it & enjoy the ride!
