Good News for DFG Comics at Easter!

By Bob Barnes
DFG ONLINE Staff Reporter

DFG head offices received good news this Easter morning when Dan Graves was notified that Sir Milton Goldfarbstein, DFG legal counsel, who had been on death's door in a coma, had woken up and was in good form. "He seems to be recovering well, almost miraculously," commented Dr. Alphonsus Mortibus of Carnage City Hospital. What had begun as chest pains a couple of weeks back quickly developed into pneumonia, a series of angina attacks, as well as decreased brain functioning. On Friday, this week (Good Friday), all hope was thought lost. Funeral arrangements had been made, a priest had been called to his bedside and last rites read. "I'm just relieved for him and his family," added DFG President and Co-Publisher, Dan Graves, "It just goes to show that miracles do happen... A Happy Easter, one and all."

Watch for updates on Sir Milton's condition as they develop.

A 'Spectacular' Heist


By Bob Barnes
DFG ONLINE Staff Reporter

A trio of armed and masked men stormed into the gated Darryl Andrews villa Sunday and forced DFG Co-publisher and Vice President to the ground during the twilight theft, Chief Augustus Smith said on Monday.

The three men behind what police called "a spectacular art robbery" escaped in a white minivan and remain at large. One of the robbers was identified as The Captain Nepto villian, the Man-Hunter.

The theives focused on Mr. Andrews' private collection of impressionist and post-impressionist artwork, in addition to some DFG rarities.

Sunday's heist comes just days after another major art theft in Switzerland. Last week, the Pablo Picasso paintings TĂȘte de cheval and Verre et pichet were stolen from an exhibit featuring the cubist master's works on display in a cultural centre not far from Zurich. The two paintings had been on loan from Germany's Sprengel Museum in Hanover.

Switzerland Police said Monday they are still investigating the Picasso theft and have started a joint task force with Carnage City Police. Both Departments declined to say whether they consider the two art heists to be connected.

Mr. Andrews was released from hospital Sunday with minor injuries.

I'm on the spot at DFG "tech central" with DFG webmaster, Oscar Foodlecollins, who has just shown me the newest DFG webpage, a site for DFG fans! Yes, DFG fans now have their own webpage. "DFG Senior Art Director Todd Abbot came to me and said, 'Oscar, baby, our fans need a place to call their own; a place where they can send me their fan mail; a place where they can really say what's on their mind about DFG,'" said Mr. Foodlecollins. He ran the idea past DFG co-publisher and president, Dan Graves, who reluctantly gave the go-ahead. "This is an exciting time for DFG," added Mr. Foodlecollins, "I'm glad to be able to help fans with their obsession with DFG Comics."
