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.

Robert Lowery played Batman and Johnny Duncan played Robin in a 15-chapter serial in 1949.

….here’s my version of how the story should end….Tracy gets wind of what’s going on, and dresses as the Knight and Liz as Pirahna, and they kick some major butt…….surprise, Broadway and Belle!

Hope David calls Tracy first!

That last panel suggests to me what Superman would have looked like if he were African-American.

I agree. Let the pros take care of the bad guys.

Now THAT sounds like a Batman and Robin plot! Still leery about a happy ending here, though. Broadway seems like a baaaaaad man.

There is a Lowry Street in Chicago, and a Duncan street as well.

They did a parallel universe story of that.

Richard better keep his glitter pen handy, slyly referencing the Sherpa Police Limit strip of 25 November.

Good morning all…
They’re playing with a loaded gun that doesn’t have a lock on it.

It’s a good thing David is a little wary in panel 3, because Stephanie is totally caught up in her fictional fantasy of being a crime-fighting superhero, when in fact she is a rather ordinary girl, perhaps with a modicum of gymnastic skill, but hardly fit to cope with the ambush dastardly Belle and Broadway have prepared for her and CK. Her life may depend on whether or not David calls Tracy first for real cop back-up, or not….

That is a look of unholy glee on Belle’s face, in the first panel. She is looking forward to whatever evil she and Broadway are planning.
