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.

Good morning all…
Is Mandrake the Magician far behind?

Good morning, cpalmeresq and VistaBill.
I can see why Cinn didn’t take the cosplaying very seriously. Why would he, with such a goofy costume? ;-)

So the Cinnamon Knight realizes he needs help, and wants Dick to recommend a therapist? Or is this going to send Dick into some kind of PTSD incident? (Dick got shot and abducted not long ago, and now he’s dealing with a fellow who treats his work like a game. That does not seem a happy situation.)

Good morning, 60sFan (and thank you) & everyone else. I couldn’t agree more with your comment about the costume!

All we need now is for a caertain nameless fanfic writer to start an “Alternate Dick Tracy” here in these boards.

Morning VB. Not only Mandrake, but I hear The Phantom may be due for a trip to the city.

Well, DT sure is looking dapper and in prime character today. He the only one that one could say that about with his hands in his pockets. In the real world he just may have an 8-shot autoloader(s) clutched in his hand(s) in the pocket(s). Just adding to what BillThompson said bout what he’d already been through.

Love the Eisner/Steranko style in the art today. Cinn wants to be a “for-really” hero, but feels uncertain and so seeks counsel from the PD’s Chief of Detectives. But where does this leave poor Stephanie, a.k.a. the Black Piranha?

" FLY ME TO THE MOON "
A program coming on Fox News Sunday, Dec. 9 @ 9 pm
See the announcement here - by Neil Cavuto - ,
http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/fox-news-reporting/index.html
It’s an Anniversary of sorts of the REAL thing, but it was the anticipation of this - that ’ triggered ’ Gould’s Moon Era sequences in the early 1960’s
With Moon Maid currently on stage you got to think Cavuto reads Staton and Curtis’ - – Dick Tracy !

“The Police force could use you” WHAT?? I think Tracy must be kidding here (sarcasm), no professional law enforcement officer wants an amateur crime fighter getting in his way.
EOCostello said, 6 months ago
I think I see DT’s point. “Cinn” appears to have the will and the physical strength to battle crime; why not do it the conventional way?

Fox News is going to show something of interest to intelligent people? Amazing.

@Mikeyj
I don’t think Dick means having him fight bad guys in costume, but (as others have said) as a member of the police force.
