Just Released!
By Bob Barnes
Special to DFG ONLINE!
After a hiatus of one year, Captain Nepto Prime is back on the stands. "This issue marks a new direction for the series," said Captain Nepto creator and DFG VP, Darryl Andrews. "The series continues to feature stories of Cap "in his prime," that is, the mid-1980's period and as such we decided to adjust the numbering our issues to reflect the legacy numbering." Legacy numbering is when a series that has been rebooted returns to its original numbering, with the cumulative addition of any other issues published in the interim. "The original series ended in 1985 at #9. Cap then became a regular feature in the second Spy Comics series. Last year we relaunched Cap in his own title under the Prime banner. Those issues were unnumbered and known only by their month of release. For example, Captain Nepto Prime - July. Only three issues were released (May, June & July). Thus, this issue is actually Captain Nepto Prime #4, but in order to avoid further confusion we just decided to return to the numbering of the original series, plus the addition of the 3 Prime issues from last year... as a result, we are now at Issue #13! Future issues will be reckoned by the legacy numbering system! It's an exciting development and it really links us to our history while at the same time looking forward to the future."
Captain Nepto Prime #13 marks another development for the series. "The Todd Abbot Studio is taking complete responsiblity for the series from this point on," noted DFG President and Co-Publisher Dan Graves. "Darryl's corporate responsiblities at the Peterborough Office have really taken him away from the drawing board of late, and we feel that it is important that he focus primarily on those very important duties which include licensing and product development. Thus, Mr. Abbot who did both 'ghosted' and credited work in the original series, as well as the pencilling duties of the Prime series has taken over the entire creative duties of the new series and will be doing so with the able assistance of the creative team at his studio. We are very happy that Todd was able to step in for us. He has a deep commitment to Captain Nepto and the Nepto family of characters."
When asked about the fate of the unfinished and previously solicted Captain Nepto Prime August 2008 (the original #4), Mr. Andrews noted, "It's still a project that I'm working on. Due to its length ... over 20 pages ... it slowed up our schedule. I still plan to complete it and release it as either an Annual or King-Sized Special.
When reached for comment, Mr. Abbot stated, "Yes, I'm very happy to finally get to work on the creation that I LARGELY CREATED ON MY OWN. And for the record, while my studio will be assisting me, their contributions will be largely minor. I will write, pencil, and ink all the issues. They will provide assistance with paste-up, colouring and lettering only."

Update on Prime August
With all the turmoil in the DFG Universe, it was decided by DFG upper management to postpone the highly anticipated August publication of "Captain Nepto Prime". "The timing is not right, commented DFG Vice-President Darryl Andrews. It would be unfair to the current publications and the incredible storyline being developed in "Spy-comics Presents". The confusion to our readers of a compliament title depicting the learned awareness that David Anderson is not Captain Nepto and more that the entire DFG character list does not exsist could be potentially harmful to our readership base." It is not known when the issue, a whopping 24 pages, will be released. When asked how 2009 will unfold for DFG's premier superhero, Darryl Andrews was glib saying only, "Nepto will have a continued presence in the current titles with no impacting reference to the storyline being developed in the Prime title".

Frank Gorshin ~ Muse
Inspiration comes from many different places. For example, Captain Nepto's most popular villain, The Jester, was created in homage to comedian and impressionist Frank Gorshin. Mr. Gorshin was, of course, the ultimate Batman baddy in the popular 1960's Batman live action television series. Meeting Mr. Gorshin, who sadly passed away May 17, 2005 was certainly a thrill for Nepto's creator. Gorshin in the typical sarcastic fashion he was known, told Darryl he would gladly don the role of the Jester if DFG ever graduated from only being popular in Canada and if the cheque was big enough.

Update from Creator Darryl Andrews
I have elected to remove 'Captain Nepto Prime' August from this year's schedule. My reasoning is, that to publish the 'last' Captain Nepto story with the Invincibles storyline only half revealed would be premature. That does not mean that new Captain Nepto stories will not be published this year. I am happy to update fans of this site that Spy Classics #4 has all principle artwork completed and will be released as a Winter edition. 
This classic retelling of the famous Captain Nepto Annual #1 features the incredible team-up of The Spy-Master and Nepto. There are other projects on the drawing board that will satisfy even the most disappointed fan of the the 'Prime' series. Please enjoy the sneak peak of the cover for Spy Classics #4.
