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.

Boy Tracy works fast! Sweatbox seems strong but I’m betting Mole is stronger.

Good ol’ Mr. Mole. I wouldn’t bet against him in this fight!

It all depends if it’s a fair fight, or whether Slimey … oops Sweaty is armed! my guess is Mole will be shot, but will recover and Sweaty will hide in the marsh while Toad gets away to safety

On the other hand, a well-placed girl-bite might get Sweaty to release his grip on Mole! ;)

It doesn’t get any more exciting than this!

The Mole is tougher than he looks, just ask Tracy.

Sweatbox thinks that because he works out he’s a tough guy, heh? He doesn’t know the incredible power in the hands of an angry Mole! This could be a truly epic hand-to-hand battle! Go, Mole!
And—run, Toad, run!

I wonder what the trib ran today, instead?

Sweatbox, you are SO busted. If Mole does or doesn’t get him, Tracy and Lee will put him away for a LONG time.

It’s great that Mole will get a shot at Sweaty, but police using a civilian to spring a trap? Did Mole use special skills (stealth? burrowing?) to get into position, in a way one of Tracy’s finest could not? I’d have liked to see this plot point played out over a longer timeframe — more suspense, less surprise.
