I came across these as I was working on a project of great importance. I
completely forgot I had them. Gary and maybe a few others have seen
them, but maybe some of the list newbies might enjoy them.
 
I really cherish this one, because I'm fairly certain this is an actual
M.E. cover. (I say that because it seems so dang tough to locate M.E.
artwork instead of M.E. writing!) This little mag is literally about
half the size of a normal comic, and I can't believe it was 50 cents way
back then!

Same book, but a very common Sergio theme from back in the days :)

Again, same book, though they finally went normal comic size. As you can
see a pretty early Groo. The this issue doesn't predate the 1st or 2nd
appearance of Groo, it certainly looks a lot like the Groo you can see
in those two respective issues. The PC Groo looked a lot more defined
than this cover. I believe this issue came out sometime right around
DNAgents.

Enjoy!
