SPM Characters -- Back in Action!

Dear Fans:

Because you demanded it! SPM characters from the 1980's will be making a comeback in the DFG Universe! That's right... Electrolight! Formation Man! Black Shadow! The Bow! They are all returning in a cameo appearance in Spy Comics Presents #4! The characters were originally part of a company absorbed by DFG in 1982. There was only four issues of the ill-fated "SPM Comics" line, each issue featuring one of the characters, above. When DFG took over with #5, the book was retitled DFG's Greatest Heroes, with that issue featuring a special Captain Nepto appearance. Issue #6 was to feature Dan Graves' supernatural detective, Dr. Mystery. While the cover was completed and advertised, the interior was never done and the issue was never released. As part of the new direction of Spy Comics Presents, beginning with issue #6 of that series, the book will become a "showcase" title featuring team-ups of DFG's greatest heroes -- in a sense returning to the intent of that old DFG title of the same name that took over the SPM characters. Look for many of your favourite DFG characters, some lesser-known heroes and, of course, the return of the SPM characters, who are amongst DFG's greatest heroes!
