Hi again Folks!

Hey, Ariel, thanks for the info!  I will get my order in!  This would be =
a good time for my periodic plug for those of you Groo starved fans out =
there to try out the Ronin Rabbit if you aren't already.

Usagi Yojimbo is great, great stuff.  Groo Crew letterer and all around =
great guy Stan Sakai does the writing, drawing, lettering and would =
probably do the printing if they let him.  Tom Luth usually does the =
coloring for the cover (the interior is b&w) but anyone who has seen =
Stan's coloring knows he could do that to! =20

The stories are not like Groo.  They are classic action adventure tales =
set in an anthropomorphic (that means no people. I looked it up) 17th =
century feudal Japan, as we follow our hero, Usagi Yojimbo (rabbit =
bodyguard) a Ronin (masterless samurai) warrior.  Stan incorporates =
Japanese mythologies, history, and other elements of culture into the =
stories, which are marvelously laid out and told.   And there is humor, =
but it's the kind you find in any good action tale.  Usagi Yojimbo comes =
out every month.  So it's a great book to tide you over, along with =
whatever non-Groo stuff Sergio & Mark are putting out, while you wait =
for the next Groo.  (Also, Stan has two adorable kids who will probably =
want to go to college someday.  I have two kids in college at the moment =
and, trust me, that's a lot of comic books!) =20

Anywho, buy Usagi, buy Groo, buy anything by any member of the Groo =
Crew.  They are all great guys who all produce great stuff, a deadly =
(and rare) combination not to be missed! =20

Take care -Gary G. =20
