Hi Lia, Ariel, and everyone else!
First: WHAT HAPPENNED TO WWW.GROO.COM???????
Second: Well of course I will have to check out Sergio's art for the =
First American tale in America's Best Comics Special #1. My comic =
book shop knows to order one of everything that Sergio contributes to =
for me to check out. Usually, if he is one of several contributing =
artists I buy it only if it has a Groo. I buy ALL Sergio books whether =
they have a Groo or not. (Because they are so darn good!) (All Mark =
books and all Stan Books too!) =20
Third: I thought it was page 384 of previews. Anywho, the art used =
for the Life of Groo/Death of Groo Hardcover was originally done for a =
similar high quality 1996 production from Spain (in Spanish) It's soft =
(heavy stock) cover, but really glossy and cool! Mark said there will =
be one page of original art, but I don't care. Can't wait for it to =
come out!!! =20
The border or margin drawings that are part of the add were pulled from =
the border of the indcia (?) page of the Graphitti Designs reprint of =
The Life of Groo. It's kind of wierd the way they did it if you compare =
the two. It's actually a pretty cool looking ad, but it doesn't make =
the Groo List because there is no original art. However, I'll add it to =
a list I have been working on of non-original Groo appearances of note. =
Most of these are cool ads. =20
And hey, Ariel! Why couldn't you buy the Carribean comic book with the =
Sergio article? Buy it for me and I will reimburse you! And someday I =
will figure out where those darn ad panels were first published! (And =
I'll find the Groo buttons that Sergio & his daughter made and I'll find =
a copy of the May, 1977 SCENE magazine.)
OK, that's it. This weekend I finally get the second batch of T-shirts =
mailed off. Take care all -Gary G. =20

Speaking of which,=20
Gary: page 284 of this month's Previews magazine has an add for the =
Life of Groo and Death of Groo collections soon to be released. The =
covers to both books looked new to me. The add also had many Groo =
"marginals" which I do not know whether new or not.
Also I saw a book in the comic book store yesterday, entitled =
something like "Comics and More". I announced itself as the Caribbean's =
only comic book. The book had a page article on Sergio. Unfortunately =
I couldn't buy the book.
Finally, G-man. I apologize in being as slow as I am. It's in the =
mail, though, and I have given up on finding that old epic add we talked =
about. If you ever track down the info I am very interested in knowing =
what you find.
Later,
A

Hi guys,=20
I was looking through Westfield's picks of the month =
(http://www.westfield.company.com), and one of them is America's Best =
Comics Special #1 - "...Squeal with delight over a First American tale =
illustrated by Sergio Aragon=E9s."=20
I would have bought this regardless, but knowing Sergio's work is in =
there makes me even more excited to get my fangirl hands on it.=20
:] Lia=20
P.S. Hey Gary, guess that's another thing you're going to have to =
buy to check if Sergio hid Groo in there, right? Heehee.=20
