Dan's Hell-Hole Re-Launch--??

Special to DTA Online
by Rhonda Bowlden

"Dan Graves has made a very BIG mistake", swears DTA C.E.O. Todd Abbot. "If he's ready to take the gloves off, then he'd best be prepared to get a bloody nose!"
I tracked down Mr. Abbot stalking the trailer park for pieces of wood and kindling to light his wood burning stove. He had nothing but fire in his eyes as I questioned him about recent comments made by DFG President Dan Graves. "I've got history on my side", noted Mr. Abbot. "There's been friendly years with DFG and hellish years - Dan don't want anyone to know about those years! I've got the records and the former staff members aligned to resurface if he pushes me any more".

Mr. Abbot at this point ushered me to the park exit and told me not to return unless I brought steaks. More on this story as it develops...or after I return with steaks.

DTA Comics Scooped by Todd Abbot

Todd Abbot announced, "I believe that it's important to the history of DFG. It's something that they are proud of and they see it as part of their heritage. I'm just the one to show them how much it will hurt"

The title DTA Comics was used originally by Darryl Andrews to publish the original Captain Nepto stories. Todd Abbot was one of the first hires for the series and transferred to DFG Comics when the two publishers integrated. DTA Comics received a federal trademark in the early 1980s. That trademark expired more than a decade ago. Abbot says no one noticed until now.

"It most certainly was a mistake" DFG legal counsel, Sir Milton Goldfarbstein said. "We failed to renew the trademark back in 1990's and now Mr. Abbot, out of revenge has taken control over it."

Mr. Abbot says he discovered last fall that the trademark expired. He quietly filed an application this month.

Being known as DTA Comics means more than just bragging rights. It also means money. Both companies can lay some claim to the Captain Nepto orgins.

This isn't the first squabble between the two parties. DFG Management and Mr. Abbot have had a blistering relationship of late. "I don't think that Todd would want to go to war, so to speak, over something like this," Publisher Dan Graves said. "But this is something we take seriously. 'This is who we are. Todd has no idea of the beast he has awoken"
