At the risk of being sued for copy right infringement by Larry,

SOLID OAK COMIC BOOK BOXES!!!?

from THE AMISH!!!???

I gotta get me one of those puppies!  Bring it San Diego and ask Sergio,
Mark, Stan & Tom to sign it!  Man!  Wouldn't that be slick?

Now to your question.  OK, getting out my trusty tape measure,  hmmm.  14
inches long x 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches high let's see umm carry the
2....  1309 cu. in.  1 cu ft. is 1728 cu. in.  (or is that yards in a mile.)
Anyway, it's slightly over 3/4 of a cu. ft.  That's 1 short box and stores
my Groo collection through #100, except Epic Illustrated #27 and the Death
of Groo, which are bigger.  Another box just like it holds all the other
Groos plus all the TPB reprints, but if I didn't have those (perish the
thought!) I could probably fit all of Sergio and Sergio & Marks other stuff
they have done in the 90's.

So, you need at least 1.5 cubic feet.  More if you also have the reprints,
as any fool can plainly see.  And remember, Groo will keep coming!!!!

By the way, I wouldn't let the Amish see the cover of Epic Illustrated #27
if I were you.

Take care all -Gary G.  (Who has been getting lots of e-mail from Croatia
lately.  Too bad I can't read Croatian!

PS  How much do the Oak comic book cases cost and how do I order them?
