[Groop] Chakal and questions...

[Gary Grossmann]

Hi Folks!  

1.  Have the Chakkal stories from Groo 50 and 51 been reprinted with her on the cover yet?

That would be the Groo Maiden.  

2,  Is there any chance that Dark Horse or Graphitti Designs are planning to make an Absolute Edition Hardcover for Groo?  

Probably not or Mark would have told us it was in the works.  

3.  Is there any truth to the rumor of Jack Black being the forerunner to playing Groo in the movie?   

No, because it's goning to be a CGI movie, like Shrek.  

4.  eh Mark?    We need Groo updates......we groopies are starvin for info.....

I'm sure Mark will give us something when there is something to give us.  At this point, no news is both good and bad.  

In the case of the movie, it's good news because it means that the movie plans are progressing and the project has not gone belly up.  Unfortunately, it's still probably several years away because that's just how these CGI projects work.  

In the case of everything else, it's probably bad news.  The deal for new trade paperbacks and reprints of the first 7 that came out under Marvel was supposed to have been struck a year ago.  The fact that it hasn't happenned yet probably/might mean that DH's commitment is lukewarm and they won't give Sergio & Mark a reasonable deal.  Ditto with Groo v Conan and any other New Groo.  

I KNOW that Sergio & Mark would love to do new Groo and could and would despite their busy schedules.  This leads me to conclude that the business side of things is getting in the way, i.e. Dark Horse won't give them a decent deal.   

But I am ever optimistic that things can be worked out and we will see New Groo and trade paperbacks in the not too distant future.  

Take care -Gary G.

  Is there any chance that Dark Horse or Graphitti Designs are planning to make an Absolute Edition Hardcover for Groo?  Like the way DC comics did for Alan Moore's Watchman books?  Those nice expensive, highly detailed and oversized books they do?

  Is there any truth to the rumor of Jack Black being the forerunner to playing Groo in the movie?   (He was rumored to play Green Lantern too)

  eh Mark?    We need Groo updates......we groopies are starvin for info.....
