Wrong Place; Wrong Time

The DFG staff person who thrilled millions of Internet users by obtaining an image of the new Captain Nepto series launch was fired today. DFG President said in a release, "while I'm thrilled by the measure of anticipation this posting brought, we cannot exercise anything but zero tolerance to such actions; especially in light of recent events". Co-Publisher Dan Graves was of course referring to the recent discovery of lost artwork stolen from DFG offices over two decades ago which resurfaced in an Internet auction. The lost original artwork for the cover of Spy Comics Vol. 1, No. 1 (Nov/Dec 1981), fetched an amazing $50K in auction vaulting over Todd Abbot's Spymaster "sketch on a napkin" into firstplace for high-sum-paid for a piece of DFG original art.
