Spy Comics #5 -- Back on Track!

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.

More Spy Comics Pages Leaked!

Special to DFG ONLINE!

Back in August two pages of the highly anticipated Spy Comics Presents the Invincibles #5 were leaked by an inside source at DFG Corporate HQ (click here for story and pages). Now, amidst the pandemonium generated by the freak accident and hospitalization of DFG colourist, Flora Lovartalot, two further pages of Dan Graves pencilled artwork have been posted online. Pages 3 and 4 reveal the mounting tenion in the concluding chapter of "The Battle of the Invincibles." Again, the suspected source is DFG janitor, Ernest Wontellalie, who has already received several reprimands for his previous leaks. Oscar Foodlecollins, DFG webmaster has provided DFG ONLINE with scans of the pages. "I'm shocked... and saddened," said DFG Publisher and Vice-President Dan Graves, upon hearing of the leaked pages, "That someone would take advantage of the confusion of this tragic situation to loot the DFG offices for artwork to post on the internet is just plain unconscionable." Chief Augustus Smith, head of DFG security also commented, "We really have egg on our faces, this time. This sort of thing seems to now standard for DFG staffers. Let me tell you, this time we are going to lay charges and get to the bottom of such scandalous behaviour." At this hour, DFG legal counsel, Sir Milton Goldfarbstein, KG, QC, LLB, PhD, is in court attempting to obtain an injunction to have the pages removed from the internet.

DFG is "On The Move!"

Fans have been asking why DFG has been slow releasing several of its promised Fall books and the answer came in a press release today from DFG President and Co-Publisher, Dan Graves. "We've kept this fairly quiet up to this point but DFG is moving into a new corporate HQ on Oct. 6, 2008 and this has delayed some of our Fall publications." Delayed books include the long-anticipated Spy Classics Annual #1: The Origins Issue, Captain Nepto Prime July & August issues, and Spy Classics #4. Mr. Graves noted, however, that Spy Comics Presents...#5 is still on track for a Winter 2008 release, as is the Retro-Spy Christmas Special. "We are optimistic that the late releases can be fit in before the end of the year," added Darryl Andrews, Vice President and Co-Publisher, "In fact we have our staff working through the night to bring these projects to completion. However, you must understand that a move of this magnitude means that all hands have been on deck to relocate the DFG offices."

DFG Comics, with its creative, marketing, production and merchandising divisions now has a staff of over 200 people and has apparently outgrown its previous modest offices. The new offices are quite attractive and will be situated to better serve the needs of the growing company. When questioned if the US stock market crisis has affected the company, Mr. Andrews noted, "Of course not... we are a private company owned completely by Mr. Graves and myself. DFG is secure and safe in these turbulent and economic times. Fans may rest assured that DFG will be around for many years to come!"

Spy Comics Presents 2009-2010 Lineup Revealed!

By Bob Barnes
Special to DFG ONLINE!

At a press conference at DFG Corporate HQ late last evening DFG Co-Publishers Dan Graves and Darryl Andrews released the 2009/2010 lineup for Spy Comics Presents. "With the "Battle of the Invincibles" storyline wrapping up in Issue 5, the Winter 2008 issue, we felt it was time to unveil the next story arc," commented Mr. Andrews, "Dan has been working very hard plotting the next five issues and has begun breakdowns on #6 already." An exciting development was the release of the cover for #6 which was drawn by Darryl Andrews and coloured by Flora Lovaratlot. "I'm very pleased with Darryl's cover," said a smiling Mr. Graves, "It really catches the flavour of the issue quite nicely. While fans have voted Captain Nepto Prime their favourite series to date, it seems like everyone wants a crack at Spy Comics Presents, our flagship title." Mr. Graves was of course refering not only to Darryl's cover but also to Mark Andrews' recently released cover for an upcoming issue. We asked Mr. Graves about Mark's issue and when it would be appearing, "Well, Frank Daniels, our production manager, is working very closely with Mr. (Mark) Andrews to determine when he will have the issue ready. We can slip it in any time because it appears that the story will be self-contained. At this point, though, we're scheduling its release after the upcoming story arc is completed, probably as issue #11)." Darryl Andrews added that he was quite pleased that his brother had agreed to put pencil to paper and return to DFG. When asked about the future story arc, Mr. Graves revealed the following, "Well, the upcoming arc is all about the fall-out from the first arc. I realized that while the Invincibles story arc was complete, there were a lot of loose ends and new directions. I really want to explore what the DFG universe looks like in a post-Nepto, post-Spymaster age. To this end I came up with the idea that Spy Comics Presents... should, at least for the next arc, be a team-up book that showcases our many under-utilised characters. The arc will deal with what the DFG universe looks like in a world where the heroes are trying to work out a new morality after the fall-out of the Julius/Nepto battle and a world in which the politicians and public figures have lost faith in their heroes." The press conference concluded with the following announcements about upcoming issues of Spy Comics Presents...

Spy Comics Presents... 2009/2010 lineup (Subject to change).

Spy Comics Presents… The Grim Avenger and the Flea #6 (Spring 2009)
In the wake of Prime Minister Jangle’s new anti-vigilante laws, Chief Smith takes over the leadership of the reconstituted Invincibles team and establishes them in their new headquarters.

When the rest of the Invincibles go on a mission to break The Grim Avenger, the Flea and William Holden out of the Carnage City Stockade, a group of second-string heroes, known as the SPM heroes (Super Powered Men) are left on monitor duty only to find themselves challenged by the notorious Carnage City Criminal Consortium (the C4 Group!).

Pencilled Pages of Spy Comics Presents #5 Leaked!

Special to DFG ONLINE!

By Bob Barnes

Pencilled artwork by Dan Graves for pages 1 & 2 of Spy Comics Presents The Invincibles #5 has been leaked to the press! The images were posted earlier today by DFG webmaster Oscar Foodlecollins after being handed to him by an unnamed source. The source is likely DFG janitor Ernest Wontellalie, who has been known to leak material in the past and has been disciplined for such indescretions. DFG enthusiast Javier Santamotzarello commented on the leaked pages: "It looks like Dan Graves is continuing the theme from issue four in which the inner psychologies of Julius and Nepto are explored in parallel while the main story unfolds." Spy Comics Presents the Invincibles #5 is to be the conclusion of the current story arc, so the fact that pages have been leaked is significant as DFG has been trying strenuously to keep the details of this issue under wraps. Neither of Dan Graves nor Darryl Andrews, DFG's co-publishers, could be reached for comment.

Spy Comics Presents ... The Invincibles #4 - Now Online!

DFG Comics is pleased to announce that Spy Comics Presents ... The Invincibles #4 (Fall 2008 issue) is now online. The issue features Part IV of "Battle of the Invincibles" with story and art by Dan Graves and colours by Flora Lovartalot. This is the penultimate chapter of the current story arc which features the build up to the final battle between Sir Julius Smithers and his Invincibles team and Captain Nepto and his renegade Invincibles. Don't miss it! The issue can be view by clicking here.
