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.

James Bond couldn’t have summed it up better.

I’m just sorry that in real life, the engineer would have nightmares for years.

It LOOKS as if Sweaty is gone… but, until they find his body, I won’t be fully convinced

He’ll sweat a lot more where he’s going now.

Hope he was wearing his seat belt.

Sweatbox’s assistant is still on the loose. He’s likely to know something about the skeletons in the vault, the murder and Sweatbox’s personal life.

Still a very confusing mix of styles to throw us off the time frame- front and cow-catcher of steam era, side rails, wheels and horn of the diesel. And it sort of looks like it’s got a tender behind it.

Sweatbox has reached [puts on sunglasses] the end of the line.

Was about to say the end of the line was about 300 or so yards from where they met. Even with modern electronic braking systems, that train isn’t going to be able to stop right away. Anyway, Sweatbox has taken either the Last Train to Clarksville or perhaps that Midnight Train to Georgia. Poor guy was always headed down the wrong tracks.

I wonder how they’re going to figure out what the deal was with the lake and the bone-stuffed mausoleum.
Looks like Sweatbox has made his last railroad crossing.
