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.

Something a real kid would ask an actor… I once read that when George Reeves was playing the TV Superman, kids would always ask him to fly for them.

Mornin’ all!
(So nice to comment before the daily bloodletting!)
Everything is coming together nicely – for the moment. But Sweatbox’s associate can’t just be there for a meal. Trouble is coming.
Love the realistic dialogue, and the inside joke there – Toad asking George about flying in space when Tracy did just that (albeit secretly) just last month.

Another good story is when Will Smith’s son Jaden was in the Situation Room with Obama and asked him if aliens were real. His answer, “’OK, I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of extra-terrestrials,” Smith quoted the president as saying, “but I can tell you if there had been a top-secret meeting and if there would have had to have been a discussion about it, it would have taken place in this room.’” Kids ask the darndest questions, don’t they?
