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 agree with those who said it yesterday: this has to be a staged event.

I agree, the lines are all very theatrical in nature. LOL

It reminds me of costumed roleplay at Lucca Comics and Games! There were even weirder costumes!
And no, I don’t think the Authors have gone bonkers, I think there’s an intriguing story developing! Just leave the Human Spaghetti Monster out!

I just noticed. If you look in back of the Cinnamon Knight’s head. You see the scalloped pattern of theater curtains.

Hang in there, you “purists.” The explanation is coming soon.

Bringing a knife to a gunfight doesn’t seem like a good idea, even if it’s a very big knife versus a spear gun.

Staged or not, Piranha and Knight both have that late 60’s, early 70’s kind of “throwback” feel for me. Like they would fit right in with the Batman of that day, or even Plastic Man, Metemorpho or the Metal Men. Neat.
