[Groop]Re: Book Review

[Greg Craill]

Aloha Groop,

Also I have just last week finished "Comic Books and Other Necessities of
Life" by ME, which very thoughtfully my wife smuggled into Saudi for me to
read when I needed lifting. Not sure if it actually needed smuggling as the
Sergio cartoons were not in the same vein as the lovely title girls on each
Groo splash page.  ;oP

I also found the articles really really interesting, I am a comics fan from
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when I could dribble on them, and the insights,
revelations and anecdotes Mark brings from within the industry are
enlightening as well as entertaining.

Mark - You do a fantastic job of introducing your readers to those amazing
people you have had the pleasure of working with in the animation,
cartooning, writing, (insert many more here) industries. I really enjoyed
meeting them through your pages !

I would like to read the stories one day of how you got your job with Jack
Kirby, and the insights and other things that you learned from him when you
started out. I am more familiar with "Mark the accomplished writer" whose
pen has been sharpened by experience, and I am curious to read about the
years gaining that experience.

Appreciatively Yours

Greg "Grooless" Craill
