A new fifteen day Minit Mystery will be featured in the Dick Tracy comic strip.
It will start Sunday April 28, 2019 and end on Sunday May 12, 2019.
The new Minit Mystery will be written by (Sgt.) Jim Doherty;
no word on whether Joe Staton or a guest artist will do the art.
Jim Doherty is no stranger to the Dick Tracy comic strip. When Dick Locher retired and Dick Tracy was turned over to Mike Curtis and Joe Staton, Jim Doherty joined the team as technical advisor as as writer of the Crimestoppers Textbook. Jim wrote that panel companion for 4¾ years – From March 31, 2011 to January 24, 2016.
Prior to that he wrote a short story for a Dick Tracy tribute site.
Dick Tracy Depot broke the news and Mystery Fanfare expands on the details and background.
I just hope this “Minit Mystery” plays fair, unlike the last one which was more concerned with the Tracy cast.
