[Groop] Groo Custom Hardcovers...

[Mo orst]

I doubt a poll would reveal any surprises. Many of us would buy hardcover Groo material.

I'm definitely all for the idea of Groo Grams reprints. The Epic run especially is easily one of the most notorious, entertaining, and important letters pages in the history of comics.

Hardcovers would be great!  I'd be happy with 
the continuation of the paperback range for the time being 
too.  Marvel's Masterworks series have been first class.  Almost 
all classic Marvel comics from the '60s have been reprinted in this wonderful 
format.  Now Marvel has upped the ante by creating the Omnibus 
series.  Same thing but bigger.  The Omnibus collections have about 30 
issues apiece as opposed to 10 in the Masterworks.  They also have all the 
original letters columns (a must for a future Groo hardcover).  Their price 
is a bit higher book for book, but works out cheaper issue by issue.  The 
only thing I don't like about them is they are so damn heavy.  Not good for 
bathroom reading!  But hey, they are still pretty sweet.  

So if it were up to me, I'd like to see the Groo 
issues done in a large Omnibus format (approximately 30 issues apiece).  
Also they should be in chronological order not rearranged like in some of the 
Groo trades.  The original covers should be there too, full page size also 
not like in the Groo trades.
Shall we have a poll from the rest of the Groop on 
this?
