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.

I’m enjoying the story of costumed wannabes.

From 4/8 & 4/9/1965, Moon Maid was locked in a food freezer by Matty Square (a classic Gould villain whose story led into the introduction of Mr. Bribery…but I digress). To escape, she used her “laser-thought powers, inherent in Moon people”to contact her father, the Moon Governor, for a rescue. Perhaps some of this was inherited by Honeymoon.? Just speculating.

You said: “How are these “ordinary” folks continuing to get rooftop access?”
-——————————————————————It’s easy – they flash the doorman their, “This is a comic strip so reality doesn’t always apply” ID cards. (Don’t you wish you had one?)

Mornin’ all!
Read the side of the truck – “Fletcher-Collins Bank — Good as Gould!”
This is where things begin to get ugly! Have to wonder if Tracy is still in space, and if the Knight has called him!

Since we already know that the A-car is a fake (ordered by Broadway), my guess is that the only cargo it will be carrying is Stephanie… the question being: Dead, or alive?

They DO have their Super Villianess licences with them, don’t they? No point in compounding the crime by not even being licensed to do it!
INRE the last couple of days strips, the wreckage of the city in Moon Vally seems to indicate shock damage. Could this have been caused by the explosion of MoonBase Alpha, back in 1999? (Hat tip to the late Gerry Anderson)
Since Richard is USNR, and is an interregence officer, I would suggest that he could use some “enhanced” interrogation techniques on the strips writers, as they must certainly know what happened.

For “interregence” please read “intellegence”

Back to our costumed drama. The costume I had really hoped to see this week was the one worn by a certain platinum blonde hottie we know and love. But this will do! ;)

She makes a pledge to find the one claiming to be her mother
A conviction that can’t be explained, triggered by another
Space Coupe journey to the moon, like when she was a baby
Reveals a shocking mystery, barren valley and yet maybe
There’s more to this than meets the eye, somehow a connection
To Mysta sightings back on earth, high time for some detection.
Connect the dots: thugs she stopped, citizens saved from theft
The cemetery guard who swore her hammer skill was deft.
She said to “Tell them I’m not dead,” and Honeymoon believed
These words she held fast to her heart, so many years bereaved.
Dear Dad, he would tell her, “Leave it to Tracy and his crew,”
But this puzzle was her destiny; she knew what she must do
Gather facts, triangulate, study, snoop and scheme
Crack the case of mysterious Mysta, fulfill a daughter’s dream.

Hey 77, ever done any rap? I could just hear Snoop doing this one.

Anyone reading that slogan on the side of the “armored car” should realize immediately that it’s a fake! But Black Piranha is caught up in the thrill of her game, unaware that Willa Scarlett may soon be going for the thrill of the kill. With Tracy apparently still on the moon, if ever a real superhero were needed, this would seem to be the time! Does any come to mind?

@Sisyphos
Stephanie is sweet, but, I don’t think she’s all that bright, and even when Cinn Knight comes to save her, I doubt his sword (which he can’t even use) will be much help against the guns wielded by those 2 hard-core criminals

From that last panel, I’m starting to think that Belle might be taking the Piranha’s idea of hiring a gang seriously.
