1st Look!!!

An ominously huge event overshadows reality this week, and it has been almost wholly neglected in the national press. Kendall [Mark] Andrews has returned to DFG!!!
Long before Todd Abbot became an Icon, there was Mark Andrews. And his legend? Underrated, in some ways unrealized -- and like the man himself, understated.

Andrews’ renown receded quickly, possibly because he never finished his last assignment...the dreaded DFG fifteen page annual!! Andrews did manage to put out some remarkable pin-ups, but the era was issue driven. still he tried to tackle DFG's biggest challenge: the Spy 96 finale, when both Dan & Darryl resided themselves with the awlful truth that they were in fact passing the buck since they too couldn't finish the series.

But, happier days have returned. Andrews has returned, and the annual is scheduled for release later this year.

You really can go home Toto!

Captain Nepto Prime #1 Sneak Peak

"Captain Nepto Prime" Direction Change

May 18th, 2008

Dear Fans:

As you will know, DFG Comics has recently been embroiled in a series of "creator-related" controversies with former DFG artist and staffer, Mr. Todd Abbot. The most recent controversy involved Mr. Abbot's seizing of an old DFG trade imprint (DTA Comics) and the rights to early Captain Nepto material. We at DFG planned to launch a new series, Captain Nepto Prime, set during the Silver Age of DFG (mid-late 1980's), while Mr. Abbot announced that DTA would be launching a rival Captain Nepto, Captain Nepto: The Original, set during DFG's Golden Age period (early 1980's). Things appeared to be at a stalemate, but thanks to the herculean efforts of DFG legal counsel, Sir Milton Goldfarbstein, LLB, PhD, QC, KG, who acted as mediator, Mr. Abbot & DFG Comics have come to an agreement. Mr. Abbot, and Nepto creator Darryl Andrews, will be collaborating on a single new Captain Nepto series, Captain Nepto Prime, co-published under the DFG and DTA banners. However, the series will differ significantly from DFG's previously announced series of the same title, as it will be set in Cap's earliest period (the period of Mr. Abbot's series). Mr. Andrews will handle the scripting and inking chores, while Mr. Abbot will provide the pencil artwork. I am pleased to add that Flora Lovartalot will be doing the colouring. I will be personally editing the title.

This agreement has meant that the previously solicted cover cannot be used for the first issue (the costume worn by Cap on the cover is from the late silver age period, whereas the new series will feature his original costume, wig and all!). We hope to be able to use Mr. Andrew's cover art for a future issue of Spy Comics.

I wish to thank DFG fans for their patience during this controversy. I am pleased that Mr. Abbot has returned to the DFG fold, and I am especially thrilled that we will be reuniting two giants from the original Captain Nepto series to return their hero to his former glory.

Committed to bringing you "the Best in Canadian Comics,"

I remain,

Dan Graves
President and Co-Publisher,
