He discussed that at his panel.  He'll be doing it from both the point
of view of Groo and from Conan, so they both will "win".  Tom Yeates
will be doing the Conan art.   It will be coming out right after Hell
on Earth.

The rights to a Groo movie have been sold.  There are disagreements
with the approach, though.  Until it is exactly what he wants, he can
wait.

Compared to those conventions this is a small one, but it is getting
bigger every year.  Check out the history over at
