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 all…
I was hoping to get one more look at the hybrid locomotive!

Yes Mayor Armstrong, sometimes the most heinous and vicious killers can put on a friendly and kind facade.

“Died”
Like one poster said, this confirms Sweaty didn’t crawl out of his wrecked car just in time.

I enjoyed the Sweatbox story and am excited that Moon Maid will be taking center stage very soon!

The mayor commands the time of Pat AND Tracy proving this was a biggie. Just wait until she sees what a boy scout her buddy Sweatbox really was.

….and some try to keep themselves above suspicion by being public figures, philanthropists and the like. No one would suspect them, would they?

To be fair, it usually works.

Mayor, you need a higher class of friends.

Big-city mayors and “personal friends” are a volatile combination. It’s good that Tracy and Patton have each other—and a thick file—to help stand the heat!

I’m so glad we’re going to get the info on what happened to all those people he or someone killed.
Hmm…. Didn’t someone point out that the Mayor had some crime organization’s logo on her computer awhile back? Around the time the Mushroom Lady was taken in and Panda got his?

Back buttons hadn’t been invented 78 years ago so I don’t have one. I have ‘forward’ and ‘fast forward’.

Apparently Sweaty is dead… maybe…. I guess we will finally find out all the details

Sweaty had a lot of things going for him, but—- athletic prowess like Batman and invulnerability like Superman don’t top the list. Even though we saw him exercising like crazy, he was way too out-of-shape to have gotten out of that car after it fell from a cliff and got battered by landing upside-down on the tracks. Getting hit by a train and bursting into flames—- nope, he’s dead.
