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.

A Julie Newmar mention in panel one (another Batman reference!) and a woman looking a lot like Julie Newmar in her Catwoman suit in panel two. Diggin’ it!

Did Eartha Kitt once play Cat Woman?

For those of you who may be worried about superheroes and supervillains taking over Dick Tracy, hang in there. This is part of the new story, and it’s not what you think.

Julie Newmar doesn’t look that pretty today.

I think this is worth waiting up late at night to read. I am now on the ropes…

2nd night in a row I stayed up late to get a glimpse of the new strip. 2nd night in a row I’ve been very pleased.

Eartha Kitt did indeed play Catwoman, but I think she played Catwoman as too much of a civilized lady, rather than the amoral psychopath that Julie Newmar played her as.
I hope Belle comes to Chicago with Broadway. Maybe he Black Piraha is Belle in diguise? Belle was the hottest villianess I have encountered in the first 13 volumes of Dick Tracy I have bought. ( But being a Norwegian Badger, I am hard wired to seek out blondes)

Seeing that pic of the lovely Ms. Newmar reminds me how I could never take my eyes off that little belt around her hips. An extremely fine lady!
