Hello, everyone.  Sorry I haven't posted for a while here. I somehow 
misfigured my e-mail settings and for a few months, I didn't get the 
messages posted here.  If you asked me something and I didn't respond to

it, please ask again.

A few announcements...

As you've probably heard, MAD is cutting back on publishing.  Sergio 
will now have more time to work on GROO projects and he swears he'll get

going on GROO MEETS CONAN very soon.

Dark Horse will publish a GROO TREASURY (that may not be the final 
title) around November of this year.  This will be a thick book in color

reprinting almost everything that was published before we went to Epic 
-- the Pacific issues, the Eclipse special and a few other items.  In 
other words, it's pretty much what was in THE GROO CHRONICLES.  There 
will be some new pages and a new intro and a new cover and a few other 
goodies.  It'll be around 340 pages and while they haven't set the price

yet, it'll probably be around $30.  Don't publicize that yet.  Let's let

Dark Horse announce it.

Sergio, Stan Sakai and I will be guests at the Wondercon in San 
Francisco February 27-March 1.  There will be a GROO panel on Saturday 
at around 3 PM and I'm hosting other panels throughout the three days.

Sergio and I will be guests at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo up

in Calgary on April 25-26.  Sergio hasn't been announced yet but he will

  be.

The only other convention this year where you're likely to see more than

one GROO person will be the Comic-Con International in San Diego.  By 
the way, there's a book coming out on the history of the con (this year 
is the 40th one) and Sergio has done a giant crowd scene drawing for it.

I think that's everything for now.
