[Groop] Cards & Groo Promoting....

[Yodazone at aol.com]

Yea!!     we gotta keep promoting Groo so he keeps  coming well into next 
year!!!
 
The next "Previews" catalog for August orders comes out in the next 2 weeks  
to comic shops (hopefully with some Groo preview pages) and now's the  perfect 
time to tell your local comic shop owners to pre-order tons of  the 25th 
Anniversary issue for August 1st!     Definitely call any other nearby comic shops 
too!  Don't  stop at just one comic shop...call a bunch of  them!      
 
Here's the "comic shop locator" link to find your nearest comic  shops:

Ask your wives, girlfriends,  husbands/boyfriends or  baby-daddys/baby-mamas 
to call and order too!!   Let's pump up the  Groo circulation numbers!!!!
 
 
The last Sergio/Mark comic from last Summer,  "Solo" #11 had orders of 14,100 
which  sold way more than the title's previous issue of "Solo 10" at 11,400 
and  "Solo #12" at 10,300. That bump in increase shows that there's a  lot of 
people out there craving more "Sergio/Mark" style  comics!    Let's order up 
these new Groo  comics while we can!   
 
We can make Groo one of Dark Horse's top sellers  so more books keep on 
coming!!!! 
 
And possibly more Sergio/Mark comic projects!   Like maybe a  Mighty Magnor 2 
mini series for next year???   (2008 marks the  15th Anniversary of Mighty 
Magnor too...)

Meanwhile,  GO TO YOUR LOCAL COMIC SHOP OR THE  TFAW WEB SITE AND ORDER 2 OR 
3 COPIES OF THE GROO 25TH ANNIVERSARY  SPECIAL.     
And tell people you know who used to read Groo or  are the type of folks who 
might like to read Groo to do the same!!!  As  Eric pointed out, the first 
Dark Horse Groo in 1998 had 21,300 preorders and  by the last Groo in April of 
2002, preorders were down to 10,100.   (Dropping it from #117 to the 160's.)  I 
don't think the sales through  TFAW will show up in the preorder figures, but 
that doesn't matter 
I don't know if we can actually do anything that  will have a substantive 
effect on total sales, but we can at least try to  spread the word outside 
regular comic book channels!  I have run into a  tons of folks who have fond 
memories of reading Groo in the Epic days, but  haven't read him since.  If we could 
just tap into a little of that  potential market that would be something.   
OK, I gotta get back to work or I'm gonna be in big  trouble.  Take care all
