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.

Saint Sebastian is also the patron saint of gay people. Glad to see George Takei here!

Apparently, George T has fallen into a fountain of youth!

Saint Sebastian looks as if he should be the patron saint of pincushions! :p

To Mikeyi : The same fountain of youth of almost everyone in this and other comic strips, I think. Only Pat has been exempt, it seems

Yeah, funny thing about Pat, when the strip began, he had bright red hair and was supposed to be younger than Dick, however, once he became Chief, his hair turned white overnight, he soon gained several pounds and in no time at all, he not only looked older than Tracy, he looked MUCH older!

Yup, the Moon Maid story will become the main story some time in the spring (April?), and will run 12-16 weeks. This according to Mike Curtis.

Tarawa — an interesting last name for the George Takei character. Tarawa is an atoll in the South Pacific that was the scene of the first major Allied offensive against Japan in November 1943. 19,000 Marines charged one of the most heavily defended spots in the world. A truly horrific three day battle, as the Japanese literally fought to the last man (of the 4500 Japanese defenders, only 17 survived):

Yes Moon Maid or whomever story will start after this one.

Fighting in the South Pacific was horrendous. But the Japanese died in greater numbers and they lost. After losing the Battle of Midway the Japanese streak of successes ended. A slow, bloody procession back to the main islands began.
