Hi Folks!  

OK, so much for consolidated posts.

There are 187 Domestic Groo Publications with Original Groo Covers. That only counts Pacific #6 and it's reverse cover as one cover.  Same for the Death/Life of Groo reprint "flip" book.  (Which, btw, was/were used originally in a Spanish  Life/Death Groo "flip" book.)  So you could say there are 189 covers on 187 publications. 

But there are more cover pages because most of the reprint covers are wrap around covers and Sergio himself told me those should be counted as two pages, or in the case of the Life of Groo repint, 3 pages.  So while there have been 187 Domestic Groo Publication Covers, they take up 213 pages.  

There have also been another 40 Original Groo Covers for Spanish Groo Publications. This gets a little tricky because 4 are only slightly altered Epic covers and like I said, The Deah/Life of Groo Double cover was orginally done for a Spanish publication, but its not counted in the 40.  And just for fun, one Spanish cover came out in 1999 and is a drawing dated 1984 that was never previously published.  (I think my favorites are the covers to the two volume "Cronicas" which between them make one 4-piece drawing.) 

And then there are about 20 full fledged Groo covers (as opposed to covers where Groo merely appears) out there on non-Groo publications.  
 
But I think for official cover and page counting purposes it should probably be 187 Covers and 213 Cover Pages. 

Next up-Original pages in reprint publications.  

Take care all
