[Groop]Questions about Groo Issues

[Jeff Kozicki (ADESA)]

Hi all, 
I was re-organizing my collection last night, having decided that putting
them in order by main cover color made it pretty, but really hard to find
anything, when I noticed (OK, my wife noticed.  I'm kinda slow (she says)) a
bunch of titles where the same book has a direct sales version and a
newstand version.  
I remember a bunch of this from the '80s when direct selling was new.  The
newstand version had to have the bar code on the cover so we had the
obnoxious white box.
The direct sales version didn't have the barcode, but still had the white
box!  Usually with something obnoxious in it like "Guess what's under the
white box?"
Also, the price might be different and the layout of the number/date/etc
might be different.

My questions (finally are):
1.  Are there two versions of the Epic run of Groo?

2.  If so, Gary, have you found all of them?     
     (If not, oooh a new search!)

P.S.  What did my wife mean by slow?
