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.

February Villian - The Terror!

We started an Online feature of profiling one D.F.G. main characters per month but due to reader demand; have expanded this form to include one hero character and one villian character. This month relive the history of one of D.F.G.'s greatest villians: The Terror!!

The Terror's background remains shrouded in mystery. No one knows who he is, what his motive might be for being such a nasty DFG baddie. He was created by Dan Graves and made his first appearance in Spy Comics Volume 2, #2 (Sept 1985) and went up against The Spymaster. It was later revealed that he was part of a band of villians led by The Killer Shark (who had arranged for the killing of Captain Nepto's parents, and much later, The Spymaster's wife, Sandra Smithers). It was believed that he died in an explosion in an old theatre that had been The Killer Shark's base of operations (see Spy vol. 2, #4), but he reappeared in Spy '96, #3 when he crashed Chief Smith's retirement party alongside the original Sy Clopps and The Jester. He was apprehended through the quick machinations of Frank Bates. His current whereabouts are unknown.
