Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 09, 2013

Rikki just doesn’t have the kind of presence to really carry this role off.

Good morning everyone…

In the real world no way Tracy agrees to this as leaving the other two alive insures his killers getting caught

I bet Pouch knows where Abner is living. Also, Tracy shouldn’t get into that carriage until he is assured that Ray and Bonnie have been released.

It seems like she got rid of the lousy fake mustache disguise. I guess she doesn’t expect Dick to survive, but she did expect the other two to survive.

Morning VB and all. It’s panel two I love today. Classic Tracy. It doesn’t get any better than this.

Gorgeous art! Kudos to Joe Staton!

Tracy is not going to be taken down without a fight. He’s just playing along for now in order to get closer to his target. Rikki doesn’t know what she’s getting into; to her, it’s all a game….Kreegha! Tracy bundolo!

Great film noir-style artwork in Panel One.

Rickki is still wearing her sunglasses late at night I see, I hope she can.

Joe Staton is a great artist! I loved his comic book work.

Tracy! Ride shotgun with her! The air is a little fresher! And, as an added bonus, you might can get her phone number! And don’t forget, you have Sig Sauer riding shotgun with you!

It seems to me that there are a few things Tracy could have done. Called Sam on his wrist device and asked for some sort of disguised surveillance of the meeting place. Left the note so that Sam could come to his house and get it, and run it through the lab for clues. Work with Tess (she works at a private detective agency now), if not the police. Maybe some of these things were done off panel, and we will see the results.

Panel One may be the BEST Tracy panel ever. Love it!

Boy, this storyline is getting good! But just about every Tracy story is good! Except for the one about the Jumbler at the beginning of this year. That was kind of short, more a filler of space to set up the next story. And can someone please explain to me why hot girls like Rikki tend to be evil and hang around creeps like Abner Kadaver? Her parents must be so proud! : )

Hey guys, remember last week when Abner went to Melies and Venus’ penthouse to tell them that B.B. Eyes wanted to join the Blackhearts leaving only two Apparatus members to kill? I wonder if those two were Mumbles and Doubleup? Or did B.B Eyes convince them to join him with the Blackhearts? And have you guys wondered like me the relationship between Melies and Venus? Are the married? Boyfriend and Girlfriend? Or are they just Business Associates? They spend a lot of time together that’s for sure! And I wonder if we’ll ever get to see Venus’ face instead of her sexy leg? : )

Tremendous work by the exceptionally talented Mr. Staton. Bravo!

Excellent first panel!

Back from vacation and got to read a week and a halfs worth fo tracy in about two minutes (surprised they didnt do anything for thanksgiving tho.. odd)

this story is FLYING by! i love the pace and not too much talking, and Bonnie is involved!!!

For once I can say, and not be lying.. I am LOVING the way this story is going!

Nice silhouette in panel 1!

Lead would be far too heavy. What they would have to construct, is a ‘Faraday cage’ which is far lighter. We need such in schools to keep kids from texting, instead of studying. Of course AT&T, Version and the others would sue the schools into bankruptcy to even attempt that.

Tracy goes underground to tackle the Black Hearts single-o.I hope he’s been smoking his spinach…

My copy of the daily news arrived Saturday. Thanks bunches! Brings back memories! Helps me explain what went on to children and grandchildren.

Panel 1 is wonderfully noirish.

Are these crooks really so stupid as to think Tracy isn’t being traced by his wrist thingy!?

Having seen this in the Chicago Tribune, this is one set of panels that’s best viewed in black and white.

…funny how the guy who blasts others for insults begins with a “what part of the FBI”….
