[Groop] Life & Death

[Gary Grossmann]

The Death & Life of Groo came out in 2002.  It's a hardback "flip book" and 
costs $60.  I found some references saying it was a 1,000 print run.  I have 
#742.  Sergio was selling them at the Con and they sold well.  The cover art 
(both of them) was originally done for a soft cover Spanish flip book in 
1996.

The stories do not intergrate.  Both were written by Mark.  The death of 
Groo is very much a stand alone adventure.  In the Life of Groo, Mark 
manages to explain why Groo is so stupid and he also incorporates many of 
the stories of Li'l Groo into a coherent timeline of sorts.

That's about all i know. take care -Gary G.
