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.

How convenient! (In best Church Lady voice.) Seriously, though, I am still at a loss to understand how a 70-year old cold case can “suddenly” find resolution. As I suggested in my comments on previous days, it’s hard to see Sweatbox as a viable perp, yet that would appear to be the set-up we’re getting….

@Sisyphos
Sweatbox may not be a perp; there may be an old family connection that could ruin his business. His grandfather may have acquired some property under dubious circumstances, and had someone murdered to hide the facts. The hit man could have been interned. The heirs might now have evidence to reclaim their property at Sweatbox’s expense.

Lee is so sexy, and is that a smile on DT? Not that often does DT put on a happy face.

But of course. Hasn’t Mike already told us that GT and his husband are going to help out Tracy on this case? Right on, Coldsooner!

Sweatbox has to be the perp, I reckon. This is getting interesting.
