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.

Good morning fellow DT fans…
Amazing how quickly the pieces fall into place.

I’m going to go out on a limb and proffer the idea that Sweatbox is a Red Herring in this story!

Good morning, VB!
Can’t wait to see how this all ties together.

Good morning, VB, and of course the pieces fall into place. The foot bone’s connected to the shinbone, the shin bone’s connected to the knee bone . . .

the thought has also occurred to me, Jelly…. He seemed genuinely surprised about the extra skeletons in the tomb…. or he’s a really good liar

At SDM, who needs Michigan J Frog? Have you forgotten the obscure 1940s Sailor villain, the one who sold the maps of Pearl Harbour to the Japanese? ……

I’m liking this storyline so far. Seems to be a meaty one that you can sink your teeth into.

I’m betting on Sweatbox being a really good liar.

I like this group. Maybe the only one that doesn’t throw obscenities at each other. Good morning indeed.

The above cartoon is a perfect example of why I use the computer to letter my drawings, generally

Had the same thought when I first read it. I’m leaning towards the good liar theory as well.

Is the identification of the Cold Case victim secure? Could Sweatbox actually be Simon Baux, arch-criminal and responsible for the numerous skeletal remains in the family vault? So many possibilities in this baffling case!

The humor makes it into a real rib-tickler.

Ok, I am LOVING this story for a few reasons… 1) Lee Ebony is getting some SERIOUS “air time” in it 2) JUNIOR TRACY makes an appearance (tho why the police sketch artist is on the case is beyond me unless it’s to possibly recreate the person’s image that goes with the skeletons using digital imaging.. but i digress lol) and Team Tracy (in the strip, not the creators) are using some good old fashioned detective work! I wonder… will Tracy stumble across… MOON MAID in the cemetery? Could the remains found in Baux Hall Vault actually be FAILED CLONE ATTEMPTS at bringing back Mysta? Stay tuned Tracy-o-Philes.. its gettin GOOD! :)
