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.

An explanation will be forthcoming, never fear, loyal fans.

Where are the Moon people????
Not what I was hoping for, I have to confess. But on the bright side, this introduces all kinds of interesting possibilities. The Moon Maid mystery gets deeper still.

Mornin’ all!
Holy socks! The buildings look like they’ve been deserted for years!
So… where have they gone? Will we ever see them again?
Arrrgh! More questions, and no answers!

There are two Moon people on Earth: the presumed Moon Maid and Retik. What those two are up to is the mystery we have at hand.

Morning NightShade09, VistaBill, and all. This is a kick in the head! I guess this means no more trips to the moon, which to a space era fan like me is a sad thing. Still, the moon people must be SOMEWHERE, so the door hasn’t been closed on their race entirely, at least not yet. This also raises a ton of questions about Moon Maid, Retik, and his girlfriend. Hmmm. In the Commando Cody serials, Retik was the emporer of the moon who attempted to invade Earth. I have been wondering since September 30 if the Dick Tracy Retik has a similar agenda.

I agree, Retik is now at the center of this mystery as much as Moon Maid. And I’m more curious than ever about the role of Retik’s (human) female assistant.

For those unfamiliar with the original space era, the giant TV screen was used by Moon Governor to broadcast messages to moon valley residents. Here are some examples of this from May 1965, when Governor was detaining his pregnant daughter Moon Maid and trying to prevent her from seeing Junior again.

No oxygen? What caused that? And where did the moon people go? This story just got ten times trippier.

That moonscape is spectacular. It rivals the great artist Wally Wood!

Crazy, man. I don’t know what to think of this. I’ll have to process for awhile.
