Okay, looks like nobody else has responded yet, so I'll give it
the old Groopie Try from memory. As usual, I'm sure Gary can fill
in the holes where I forget stuff:
Post Image Groo:
•Groo: Mightier Than The Sword (4 issue miniseries and trade
paperback)
•Groo & Rufferto (4 issue miniseries and trade paperback)
•Groo: Death & Taxes (4 issue miniseries, eventually a trade
paperback wil be issued)
Also, the Collected Groo Epic Trade paperbacks continued
alphabetically, let's see if I can do this from memory: THE GROO
HOUNDBOOK, THE GROO INFERNO, THE GROO JAMBOREE, THE GROO KINGDOM,
THE GROO LIBRARY, THE GROO MAIDEN, and we're currently up to THE
GROO NURSURY. Dark Horse plans to step up publication the
Alphabetical Groo trade paperbacks and Sergio & Mark plan on
issuing some storylines outside of the Alphabetical Series, such
as GROO: WAGER OF THE GODS, so much more Grooishness is on the
way.
Speaking of more Grooishness, Sergio & Mark are working on a
one-shot to feature best-of-Groo type stuff, unpublished Groo
stuff, probably some new stuff, all this still to be determined.
This project was originally conceived as a 20Th Anniversary of
Groo project, but will probably be out next year. Hey! It can be
a 21st Annivesary of Groo Book!!!
Sergio & Mark also did some non-Groo stuff, including but not
limited to:
•The Mighty Magnor (4 issue mini of superhero humor. Mark
promises a trade paperback soon, and a sequel miniseries -
hooray!!!)
•The Boogeyman (4 issue mini of PLOP!-style horror humor, and
trade paperback)
•FanBoy (4 issue mini and trade paperback Sergio & Mark are
joined by a Who's Who of famous DC Comics artists in this tribute
to fandom faeturing many of DC's biggest heroes and a comic book
fan named Finster)
•Space Circus (4 issue mini, the title pretty much says it all. I
forget, was there a trade paperback of this yet? Gary? Mark?
little help?)
Sergio without Mark:
•Louder Than Words (6 issue mini and trade paperback. Trademark
Sergio MAD-marginal-style pantomimes)
•Actions Speak (6 issue mini and trade paperback??? Trademark
Sergio MAD-marginal-style pantomimes)
Mark without Sergio:
•Superman Meets Bugs Bunny (4 issue mini, Mr. Mxyzptlk meets The
Dodo, double the mayhem for all involved. Original concept was
Mxy treaming with The Gremlin, but complicated legal issues
intruded, so corporate dodos made Mark replace The Gremlin with
The Dodo, dig?)
I expect corrections and additions to the above, Groop. I'm
waiting...
