D.F.G. in Hot water over "Bedtime Heroes"

"A gross misunderstanding" was D.F.G.'s founder, Dan Graves initial comments when pressed as to whether the new 2008 line-up would include a comic depicting 'Superhero antics' in the bedroom. More on this story as it develops...

Clearly this is not just a frivolous claim. I am sickened and appalled that DFG comics would chalk this whole nasty incident up to “a gross misunderstanding”. This is a weak and transparent attempt to cover up the clearly vile nature of the direction that DFG Comics has been taking over the past few years. As a longtime patron of DFG products I would like to take this opportunity to express my dismay that this once wholesome company has resorted to the all too common strategy of using sexual innuendo and low brow smut to sell their product.

You people make me sick!!!

I want one of the original Todd Abbot Cyclone-Tornado sketches that you slack-jawed hacks claim were destroyed. And I don't want any vulgar pieces with private parts subsequently sketched in so you over extending morons could put the screws to Todd Abbot. I’m on to you jokers!

Anonymous, agree with Mr. Andrews about your identity. You should update your profile. It’s not fair to take pot shots at anyone unless you’re man (or woman) enough to make your identity known. Having said that, I would hold out too much hope for the original Todd Abbott, they do not keep their promises. Let me share my DFG rip-off story.
That was back in 1982. I was driving my car past DFG head office when a stack of comics were hurled out of the building and smashed through the hatchback window of my orange 1979 Gremlin, doing serious damage to my astronomy equipment, setting my work back decades. Upon further investigation I found that the comics had been thrown from Dan Graves’ executive office. (I understand he had some temper back then.) I was promised shares in the expanding business as a substitute for financial compensation if I kept quiet about the whole incident. Well, the stock options never came. Instead they simply ripped off my identity and used it for the every-day persona for a newly formed character in one of their comics. In short I am the person in which Redman was based on. DO you think I ever got one bit of compensation? Hell no. I still have fragments of the Gremlin that saved my life…

Do not trust DFG comics

This is a free country. I can do what I want and I can change me mind. By the way. I don't want a Todd Abbott, I want Glow Comics #1 it looks as though it the only thing of any worth or creativity that you reprobate have created in the last 25 years.
