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.

I like all the little subplots, the fact that some of them get left unfinished is sort of exciting, as you never can be sure how things will work out. Kind of suspenseful. Life is that way, there aren’t always answers….

I am really liking this character so far. Whoever he is, he has tons of personality, not to mention arrogance.

He makes me think of Roger C Carmel, player of Harry Mudd.

@JerryH (from yesterday): “Yeah, I remember Pollyanna now, too. Wow, she was as sexy if not more so than Moon Maid.”
Yeah, I liked Pollyanna when I was young. The thing that grabbed my attention was all that hair(!) and how it covered most of her face. Her signature look. Later, when she dressed up like Moon Maid, I have to admit I started noticing more than her hair! → Pollyanna like MM

Hmm. I still don’t “get” Mr. 13 and his Smart Dog. But I suspect he is in some way up to no good….

(Also from yesterday) Thanks for filling me in on all those female characters. I’m sure I read the strips with them in them but the recollections are buried deep within my memory banks.

Another very interesting plot brewing.
