Spy Comics #5 -- Back on Track!


By Bob Barnes

Special to DFG ONLINE!


Spy Comics Presents...#5 has been plagued by publication delays since last fall. It continues to carry the Winter 2008 date, but 2008 has come and gone. Where is it? "We had some problems," commented DFG publisher Dan Graves, "After the death of Flora Lovartalot, our colourist, the project was temporarily delayed. It was passed along to Frank Daniels to finish, but with his recent problems we have removed him from the project. I'm pleased that Todd Abbot stepped up to the plate and has been colouring the issue." Mr. Graves indicated that we will likely see the completed issue online in early February.

Dear Anonymous Fan:

Thank you for your comment. It is true that Nepto is usually depicted in a dark green cape & cowl. However, for this new series the decision was made to use a dark blue to depict "the darker" side of Nepto... remember he did order the asassination of Prime Minister Anderson. Also, as it depicts him as the parallel to Julius who always appears in a dark blue suit.

It is likely Nepto will return to his green mask and cape in the near future... Always remember, Nepto is the man of many costumes.
