Spy Classic Annual #1 (Origin Issue) Coming Together!

"The Spy Classics Annual is coming together very nicely," says DFG President and Co-Publisher, Dan Graves. "I'm very pleased," he added, "That we will be able to include so many origin stories in the issue. Interest has risen since we released the teaser image online last week of the early-inking stage of the Graves/Andrews cover." The issue is slated to contain origin stories of DFG favourites such as The Spymaster, Captain Nepto, The Agent, Nova, Redman, The Bates/Holden team, The Warrior, and The Flea. A sneak-preview of The Flea origin story is posted here (story and art by Dan Graves).

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.
