[Groop]Met the Man in MI

[Gary Grossmann]

Hi Folks!

"Warm" and "nicest" are definitely words that belong in any description of
Sergio.  Probably at least part of the reason he did a sketch in your book
is because you told him you are one of us so he knows the drawing won't end
up on ebay.  You will find Stan just as nice as Sergio.  To long time
Groopies, this all sounds like a broken record, but hey, what can I say?  We
happened to have glommed onto the nicest creative team in comics.  Or
anywhere else for that matter.

Take care all -Gary G.
