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 That does not mean that new Captain Nepto stories will not be published this year.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.

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!

Update from Creator Darryl Andrews


Captain Nepto Prime July is near completion with a July 24th release date. Work is already underway on the August issue with some panels already circulating around the World Wide Web. August will be a very special issue for both personal and professional reasons. I've completed the basic story breakdown and it has 'come in' at a staggering 25 pages in length! It will be full of surprises and nostalgia. Keep visiting this site for the latest news on Canada's favourite Adventure Strip Character since 1981!

The Ending Is The Beginning

A.K.A. Darryl Destroys DFG Universe


Captain Nepto & Me by Creator Darryl Andrews

Nepto was my first "Super-hero" creation, therefore he had to be a REALLY big deal. Back in '81, I was reading every comicbook I could get my hands onto including: Batman, The Sub-Mariner, Spiderman, Moon Knight etc. I took the very best from every character and implemented it into him. I was just starting to learn about the value of own ego and was exercising some escapism with this character. Over the years, Nepto has always been progressive; never static. I attribute this to my own life as it mirrored constant change and no true defination. Nepto would change costumes like I would change personalty traits [drop one, pick up another]. With Nepto I could change his appearance, his powers, his orgin and offer no explanation. I tried to do the same thing with my life many times, simply by not offering any explanation for sudden personality or direction changes in my life. I wouldn't allow myself ownership over anything and frustrated all around me with how sudden I could change my stance on what to some were very important issues. All these years later, Nepto is still a work in progress. There is no character sheet that would illustrate exactly who he is. I have to think after all these years that notion was appealing to me [no simple defination], frustrating to everyone else, but right or wrong, a life coping skill I've transfered to my hero.
