[Groop] Groo Sighting

[Gary Grossmann]

I do have my copy handy and in the "Index and Notes" in the back he certainly does seem to be saying that Sergio drew the artwork on the wall on page 1 and page 8.  Hmm.  OK.  I will have to ask again.  Stan will be up here (in Seattle, one hour north) for a Con in February and I will ask again.  I could have sworn I asked him, but maybe I got confused.  Not unusual for me.  -Gary G.

  The reason I mentioned it (and took a close look at it in the first place) was because in the Art of Usagi yojimbo #1, there is a list of information concerning the contents of the book, and it seemed to suggest that Stan was stating that Sergio drew (reproduced) that drawing both on page one, and later on page five (the view of Groo in the drawing on page five is obscured by something in the foreground). I would make an exact quote but I don't have the comic at hand currently...

  >I asked Stan about that drawing and he said he did it, not Sergio.  So it goes in the Groo Drawn by Others category.  Stan can draw Groo & Rufferto so that they are virtually indistinguishable from Sergio's drawings. In the Dark Horse UY #1 letters column, Stan answers my question about which of 3 other UY Groo appearances are his and which are Sergio's.  -Gary G.

In it, the first panel on page one features a drawing by Stan of his studio including original art on the walls. Sergio reproduced the drawing of Groo which hangs in the studio.
