High-level Meeting Held at DFG Corporate HQ

Special to DFG ONLINE!
Sources have revealed to this reporter that a special high-level meeting took place at DFG Corporate HQ this week between DFG co-publishers Dan Graves and Darryl Andrews, and a variety of other DFG senior staff. Apparently the meeting was held to flesh out the upcoming Spring line-up, which kicked off this month with the introduction of an all-new series Spy Comics: Villains. "We're very excited," said Mr. Andrews, "several of our projects that remain unfinished from last year will come to completion this year, including Spy Comics Presents... #5, the two unfinished issues of Captain Nepto Prime as well as the Spy Classics Annual (origins issue). But in addition to all this you can be sure that DFG has some surprises planned." When asked what new directions DFG has in store, Mr. Graves added, "I can tell you this ... while you have seen us telling many stories from the past in recent months (editor's note: Mr. Graves was here refering to the titles, Spy Classics and Retro-Spy), we feel that it is now time to gaze into our crystal ball and examine the world of DFG in the distant future ... as a result, you can expect to see a special story in the upcoming season entitled, The Invincibles of the 25th Century!" This groundbreaking news was also accompanied by the news of a special tribute issue (for which magazine is yet to be determined) in which Mr. Graves will pay homage to his uncle, Bryan Rason, a country music legend and superstar. "I have a special issue planned that will feature a character based on Bryan... it is the least I could do for someone who has been such an important influence on my life." Mr. Graves refused further comment on these two exciting new developments. Mr. Andrews also noted that Spy Comics Presents #6 will feature the return of Big Jon, a character created and immortalized by Tim Graves in the award-winning 1980's film series produced by DFG Studios. More details as they become available.
