DFG Releases Captain Nepto Collectors' Series Covers


Press Release
"The Last Shall be First!"
In celebration of the launch of the new Captain Nepto Prime series, DFG Comics is releasing a special set of collectors' series covers IN FULL COLOUR! The covers featured in the series are from the original Captain Nepto series which ran through the early 1980's and ended in January 1985 when Cap went to his "new look" and moved to the relaunched Spy Comics title (sharing the title with The Spymaster). The first cover, just released is #9, the final issue of the original series. What makes this even more special is the fact that the cover DFG has used is the "limited edition UK release cover," which depicts more characters than the North American Edition (the North American edition featured only the Jester, Alligator and the Blaster, whereas the Mummy, Crusher and Killer Shark were added for the UK release!). The cover is from what fans call "The Golden Age of DFG" and features vintage art by Darryl Andrews and is newly coloured by DFG's staff colourist, Flora Lovartalot.
