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.

Mornin’ all!
So that was what made Tess smile yesterday!
And I see Joe was reading the Scarlett Sting – the favorite comic book of heroes and villains.

Gotta admit DT would be a 1st class super hero, but the tights … I don’t Know. RGIII in tights? Maybe, but not DT!

Gee, we’re almost at the halfway mark for the allowed storytime…..and for Walt Wallet/VitaminFlintheart/Sprang/Robinson/
Kane/Broadway Bates/Black Pirahna/Cinnamon Knight to all come together in a storyline…..gotta admire the way Mike responds to a challenge – by raising the stakes instead of caving in to simpler story lines….thumbs up!

I enjoy Tracy’s interludes with his family. They provide variety for the readers.

Tess’s “minds eye” hit this one right on the head. “Snicker” is right on! I also agree with Ajaxxphat. These family interludes make me continue to care for, and even relate a little to the Tracy clan.

Oh, Tess, I didn’t realize you had such a wicked sense of humor! Snicker indeed! —But I do like the yellow trenchcoat-cape.

Faster than a speeding villain! More powerful than a criminal conspiracy! Able to leap tall granaries in a single bound! Look! Up in the sky! It’s a air car! It’s a Space Coupe! It’s SOOOOOPERTRACY! ;D
