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.

Belle’s pretty nasty, too. I read where she took a shot at Tracy that ended up killing another man.

Bates: but that was in 1932 eighty years ago! Don’t tell me you’re still holding a grudge?

I think stories with NEW villains would be less temporally paradoxical, don’t you think?

Going by Honeymoon’s age, about 7 years have passed since 1978, the year her mom was taken out. If 34 actual years = 7 Tracy years, then Bates kidnapping and torturing Tracy (which occurred in 1932) happened about 16 Tracy years ago.

Our guy is doing some first-rate detective work today. Will he put the fear of the Law into Belle, or will she be moved to further criminal behavior? Broadway is destined to doom, I think.

But is Tracy’s head recovered from the suitcase full of bricks that they dropped on it? Nice recap in a single panel of the things we needed to know about Bare’s first appearance.

I think I’m going to have to reread the original story, I can’t remember any of those details- Now, I have to figure out where I put my copy of “Dick Tracy in the 30s”

Contrary to a complaint by another, I’d appreciate a link to the earlier story if anyone has a good one.
