The Groo poster did come out.  It's a large scene of Groo defending a
castle attack by doing what Groo does best.  Keep an eye out on ebay for
it...

Not sure why you would want a second set of 'collectible' Groo books.
Judging from activity on Ebay and the 50 cent bins, there's more supply
than demand for Groo back issues....  Don't forget to get extras of all
the #1 issues.... :-}  Rumours of a platinum, embossed, holo,
limited-edition, triple gloss variant cover of a Groo vs Hong Kong Fooey
story have surfaced but are unfounded, as far as I know.

There are two sets of Groo cards that came out: The collectible
'trading' card set of a hundred and some odd cards plus semi-rare
inserts, and the non-board card game plus expansion pack.

You may be insane, but there's only one dessebo.

Welcome to the Groop,

Ruben.
