              You know what. I DID Err..

              In question #8 I asked, "What MONTH was the 1993 version of the Life of Groo graphic novel printed in?" What I REALLY meant to ask was what MONTH was the 1995 version of the Life of Groo graphic novel printed in? I got mixed up myself over the fact the 1995 edition was a reprint of the 1993 version. Sorry about that.

  Hmm.  It doesn't say.  I don't remember.  And I don't think it matters.  

              Ahh. and now that I am looking back, I can answer my own question #7.  The 1987 printing of the Death of Groo was printed in November. Once again I made a similar mistake. I meant to inquire about the month for the reprint of the 1990 version of the Death of Groo.

  Thanks David.

  Hmm.  It doesn't say.  I don't remember.  And I don't think it matters.  

              .and Gary, in reference to the miniature questions I had... I suspected as much. I figured there was just a minor difference in the packaging, but I did not know the whole story behind it. I also DID actually think it was Mulch and not Rufferto in the 701 set. I do have to admit I had no idea the piece I THOUGHT was broken off was in fact additional frets for the Minstrel's guitar thingy. You learn something new every day.

  btw, I think it's a mandolin.  I don't know why i couldn't think of that before.  

              I do feel the need to point out I am and was aware of the full Groo merchandise listing you linked to, which is the reason I did suspect it was Mulch and not Rufferto. However the list states "Groo, Chakaal, Sage & Mulch, Minstrel" so I got the impression Sage & Mulch were one modeled figure. Then when I read that eBay auction as Rufferto and saw an unclear image with what looked like a separate possible dog I was a bit thrown off, particularly without my own collection at hand to refer to. Also the list does not specify the separate frets for the Minstrel, which is why I thought there was a possible broken figure in that particular auction's item.

              Either way thank you very much Gary. You certainly clear things up very well. J

  You're welcome.  

              .Now onto your answers to my questions, Gary. You certainly did a spectacular job answering them, as I suspected you would. Although there are some things I do not absolutely understand just yet.

              When I asked about the first Groo sketches from the third book of the original Chronicle series, I think I was not clear in my own answer. I intended on finding out whether those first sketches had appeared in an older publication. I kind of naturally figured the sketches would appear in the hardcover reprint of the Chronicles, but unfortunately I do not yet have that in my own collection, so I think you ended up answering that question more than I had intended unless you neglected to mention any earlier printings of those first sketches.

  They were not printed anywhere earlier.  Like I said, when Sergio and Mark do a reprint, it's always more than just a reprint.  There is usually a new cover and at least a little something new inside.  In the case of the Chronicles, there was a lot of previously unpublished stuff inside.  

              Obviously if you read my first couple of paragraphs in this e-mail you will know I messed up in my original questioning in #s 7 & 8. Feel free to answer the corrected questions I wrote above. If it helps any though, your answer to question #7 about the month of the 1987 edition of the Death of Groo was a POSSIBLE November, and I also happen to have November down for that printing in my own list as well. However, I do not have my own copy readily available, so I can not confirm it. I can say I do NOT have a "?" after the month in my own listing like I do after the month for Destroyer Duck. I put that "?" after that because I KNOW my copy of Destroyer Duck #1 does not show any month for its printing, but I wrote down February because I was going by your listings. Since I could not verify it for myself I put the "?" after the month and asked question #9. Either way if you do ever figure out how you came to those months of November and February please DO share that conclusion with the Groop. J

  Will Do.
