[Groop]Sergio Sightings Correction

[Gary Grossmann]

I have just been informed via telephone that THE COMICS JOURNAL #235 has a
Groo drawing on page 109.  It sounded like a reprint of the cover of Amazing
Heroes #61, which would make sense since both publications come from
Fantagraphics.  I verify tomorrow.  -Gary "We Strive for Accuracy" Grossmann
