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.

Spy Comics -- Online!
Publishers Daniel Graves and Darryl Andrews are proud to announce that D.F.G. Comics titles can now be found online! The link in the right hand column of this page will lead you to an online version of Spy Comics (Series 4) #1 (Previously released in a print version). A preview page from #2 is also posted. We also feature online versions of Retro-Spy #1, from 1996, and the long awaited second part, Retro-Spy #2, from 2006. Online editions of Spy Classics are soon to follow...
About Spy Comics (Series 4): This version of Spy Comics is the fourth series of that name. The first appeared in 1981 and introduced The Spymaster, D.F.G.'s masthead character. It was shortly followed by Darryl Andrew's acclaimed Captain Nepto series. The Spymaster and Nepto shared many adventures together. The series was relaunched in 1985, and again in 1996 as Spy '96, which lasted 8 issues. The 1996 relaunch also featured the introduction of two new titles, Spy Classics and Retro-Spy. In 2006 we relaunched yet again and have big plans for the all-new Spy Comics.
Issue One of the all-new Spy Comics features the return of classic D.F.G. characters such as the Captain Nepto, Julius Smithers, Redman, The Grim Avenger, The Agent, Nitro, and everyone's favourite slap-stick detective duo - Holden and Bates. Newcomers include Leighton Graves' newest creation, Glow Girl.
The story opens ten years after we have last seen our heroes. Sir Julius Smithers (the retired Spymaster) is now Governor-General and in order to respond to the murder of Prime Minister Randy Anderson (the reformed arch-criminal, the Sea Serpent) at the hands of Captain Nepto (One-time champion of Carnage City and half-brother of the Prime Minister), Smithers must reconstitute the superteam known as The Invicibles in order to take down the renegade Nepto. Will they succeed before Nepto and his band of renegades strikes again?
