Eli,
You asked about the items below, like what they had to do with
Groo, and you requested any possible images of each item...
1) Classic Comic Book Characters #6: Groo
This was a limited Groo statue/figurine, which I believe sold
out immediately after it was released last year. Here is a link with a
photo:

Do not be misled by the availability link, Things from Another
World is sold out of it. I think your best chance would be eBay.
2) Buzz & Bell HC
As far as I know "Buzz & Bell" is another comic series Sergio
Draws, but I do not collect it myself. Other than Sergio I do not know
what other relationship it has to Groo, although I would not be
surprised if Sergio occasionally included Groo in its backgrounds.
3) Posters of Sergio that David Baker was selling
I do not know what this has to do with Groo other than Sergio's
own obvious connection to Groo, but if you go to Sergio's web site under
the "News Archives" section (http://www.sergioaragones.com/archives.htm"
you can read the following:
---
April 28, 2003 - Acclaimed photographer David Baker has created an
awesome photo mosaic of Sergio and you can own a copy. Sergio was
photographed in his soon-to-be-vacated studio and then David fashioned
over 90 of those photos into an 18" by 24" mosaic poster. From afar, it
looks like a picture of Sergio's face. Up close, you see the images of
him posing in his unnatural habitat. Only 200 prints have been made and
many are already gone or spoken-for. Each poster is numbered, embossed
with an authenticity stamp by the photographer, and then personally
signed by Sergio. The price? Only $75.00. Shipping is included on
U.S. orders. For foreign sales, inquire of Dave at
david at ojaiimages.com. That's also the PayPal address if you'd like to
pay that way, or send your check or money order to David Baker, 300
Running Ridge Trail, Ojai, CA 93023.

4) Climbing Groo Mouse Pad
...AND...
5) Fraying Groo Mouse Pad
As I understand, these were both mouse pads produced by Groop
members, which had Groo imagery on them. They were created by Nate &
Ruben in 1999 and sold to Groop members and other fans. I believe the
use of the Groo imagery WAS permitted by either Sergio or Mark for the
sole purpose of the Groo mouse pad production run. As far as I know
there were only 132 pieces of each of the mouse pads produced and they
could only be sold at pretty much the actual production costs.
I think that should answer most of your questions, though I
figure there has to be someone in the Groop, who might know more about
the "Buzz & Bell" connection.
