[Groop] Chakal and questions...

Also, Sergio and Mark's latest comic work appeared in Solo #11 last  week.   
Now Solo is getting cancelled with issue  12.    
 
Dark Horse get ready!!!  
 
 Hey how about a Groo vs. Shrek book for next year?  That's when  Shrek 3 
comes out and Mark even wrote the Shrek mini series a few  years back for Dark 
Horse.   We all know that Dark Horse loves a good  crossover too.   They once 
printed a Lobo vs. The Mask book  so they'll publish anything.   Groo and Shrek 
together!    Donkey and Rufferto!   I'd buy it!  It's like a buddy  action 
movie with two big oafs!   (I hope Mike Richardson is in the  Groop....)
 
Groo for 2007!!!!

Maybe Dark  Horse should take a gander at Groo's previous publishers if they 
want to  see what happens to those who let the Wanderer wander away. Shall we 
take  a trip down memory lane?:

1. Pacific Comics - Eight issues into Mark  & Sergio land, they went bankrupt 
1984.

2. Eclipse Comics -  Bought out by Todd McFarlane in 1993, but they had been 
floundering for  years before that awful fate. This after only ONE issue of 
Groo.

3.  Epic Comics - Discontinued by Marvel in 1994 just months after Sergio &  
Co. left (with a brief whimper in 2003... kinda reminds me of all those  
"last words" death-rattles Groo encountered on the battlefield)

4.  Image Comics - Basically a rock star/gimmick-cover joke of a publisher  
until Groo came along in 1994 and was automatically their most  consistently 
published book for practically all of 1995. After Groo left,  the company 
almost immediately fell into a toilet of in-house turmoil...  and though they 
still have a handfull of consistent (albeit cliche) books  and some 
interesting creator-owned projects on occasion, they are still  recovering 
from the disasterous year that followed Groo's departure  (1996).

Does Dark Horse want to be #5 on this elite list of comic  publisher 
wannabes? They better wise-up and study a little bit o' comic  book history, 
imo, before they become just another statistic in a Mark  Evanier letters  
page.
