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.

Coincidence, or did Tracy have an informant tell him that Bates was in town?

Harley! Mr. J! That “other city” is even more obvious!

And Tracy’s purple glove! How perfect! Love this story! Know that I’ve said it before, but it still applies!

So, Belle has a friend named Harley, who has a boss named Mr. J. That couldn’t be Harley Quinn, the girlfriend/sidekick of the Joker?

Won’t Broadway be surprised to find out these caped caperers are hardly capable of crime!

A big surprise for us, but an even bigger surprise for Broadway (and Belle). Tracy is doing some proactive detective work here. Can he nip their nefarious plot in the bud, and maybe round up the two costumed clowns, too?

Not exactly a “welcome back” is it Broadway? Hey, what’s to fear? He’s just “some local cop.” Yeah, right…..

Nice pic, Mikeyj. Tell me again why you don’t want the Moon Hottie back in the strip? ;-)

Because we KNOW “Moon people” don’t exist, she screws up the Junior Tracy family dynamic and, most of all… She got blasted into a million pieces!
