Hey, I've already looked at the scan of the cover with my trusty magnifying
glass looking for a Groo.

Even if there isn't a Groo, I'd buy it.  I've read a number of Mark's POV
articles on the history of comic books and I find them fascinating.  And I'm
not really a comic book fanatic.  (Just Groo & Usagi).  The series on the
anti-comic book crusade of the 50's is a very interesting subplot to, and
microcosm of, the whole un-American witch hunt mentality the country had
going back then (which virtually no one had the guts to say was itself
blatantly un-American).  I'm assuming those will be included.  In
conjunction with that is the story of William Gaines, which I also hope will
be included.

Take care all -Gary G.

PS  I'll bet you all didn't think I could use the word "Microcosm" in a
sentence.
