About Spy Comics (Series 4): This version of Spy Comics is the fourth series of that name. The first appeared in 1981 and introduced The Spymaster, D.F.G.'s masthead character. It was shortly followed by Darryl Andrew's acclaimed Captain Nepto series. The Spymaster and Nepto shared many adventures together. The series was relaunched in 1985, and again in 1996 as Spy '96, which lasted 8 issues. The 1996 relaunch also featured the introduction of two new titles, Spy Classics and Retro-Spy. In 2006 we relaunched yet again and have big plans for the all-new Spy Comics.


Issue One of the all-new Spy Comics features the return of classic D.F.G. characters such as the Captain Nepto, Julius Smithers, Redman, The Grim Avenger, The Agent, Nitro, and everyone's favourite slap-stick detective duo - Holden and Bates. Newcomers include Leighton Graves' newest creation, Glow Girl.

The story opens ten years after we have last seen our heroes. Sir Julius Smithers (the retired Spymaster) is now Governor-General and in order to respond to the murder of Prime Minister Randy Anderson (the reformed arch-criminal, the Sea Serpent) at the hands of Captain Nepto (One-time champion of Carnage City and half-brother of the Prime Minister), Smithers must reconstitute the superteam known as The Invicibles in order to take down the renegade Nepto. Will they succeed before Nepto and his band of renegades strikes again?
