[Groop]Groo News from M.E.

[Mark Evanier]

Okay...Sergio and Stan are appearing at the Motor City Comic
Convention in Detroit from May 18 through May 20.  I am not planning
to attend.

We will all be at the Comic-Con International in San Diego, which is
from July 19-22.  We will be doing a Sergio/Mark/Stan/Tom panel, and
it's currently scheduled for Friday, July 20, at Noon.  This could
change but probably won't.  (This is one of ELEVEN panels I'm
moderating at the convention. Yow.)

Sergio will be selling the new Groo magnets at the con but, because
some of you asked, we're going to try to make arrangements so you can
buy them by mail now.  There are three different ones and he sells
them for $5 each or a set of all three for $10.  Would someone on the
list here like to volunteer to collect the money (that amount, plus
postage) so that Sergio can just send a batch to one person who will
then forward them on the Groopers?  That sentence isn't phrased right
but you know what I have in mind.

The FANBOY paperback comes out the week of July 4th.  You can see a
preview of the cover at:

I don't know when the next GROO mini-series will be out.  Sergio is
behind on ACTION SPEAKS, and has to finish that before he starts on
GROO...and GROO won't be scheduled until he starts.  At the moment,
I'm guessing we won't see the next GROO series until around December.

I also don't know when Graphitti is bringing out that LIFE OF
GROO/DEATH OF GROO book.  I ran into Bob Chapman at the Wondercon but
he had totalled his Porsche on the freeway on the way to the con and
barely gotten out with his life.  So I didn't have the heart to nag
him about a late book.

That's all for now.
