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.

Something smells like undercover cop drama…(for further insight, Wikipedia “True Crime: Hong Kong”)

I get the distinct feeling that Stephanie isn’t going to survive this story, she’s just too reckless

When her body is found, will there be laying on top of the corpse, a business card reading:
WILLA SCARLETT
Supervillianess

I’ve got a bad feeling about this…

@Mikeyj
it’s not just that she’s reckless, Stephanie’s missing something upstairs. Had she ever heard of this “real supervillainess” before meeting her on the roof? Has she thought to google “Willa Scarlett” to see if anyone else has ever heard of her?

Now THAT sounds rather grim! (Gould would have LOVED it!)

This is a really weird story line. I think Dick Tracy would have told the Cinnamon Knight he was an idiot and threatened to arrest him if he didn’t knock it off.

Stephanie, wake up! You are, I fear, destined to die in your own fantasy! —David, try to keep her from a foolish, unnecessary death!

Good Morning Detectives!
Both Knight and Piranha are destined for a brutal end, I fear. Too bad, they’re likeable characters.

Gee why does everybody think Pirahna and Cinnaknight are going to be killed off? Maybe they’ll just “learn their lesson” instead……it seems to me one difference between todays strip and Goulds is that it is a little bit more light hearted…..and frankly, I prefer that. I mean, who really got enjoyment out of Moon Maid blowing up, or Model Jones blown away, or even the Summer Sisters drowning? We read comics for pleasure, and stuff like that hardly leaves you smiling. Besides, we’ve already had one tragedy – Belle not wearing a costume like Moon Maids, ha ha. (jk)
