Hi Folks!
 
Well, once again I am slow of mind, or at least slow of catching up on e-mails.  
 
So a belated Whoo-Hooo!!!  (be still my beating heart!)  I know we've heard some of these things before, but I think this time they will happen.  
A big Sergio crowd scene for the 40th anniversary San Diego Con book (Maybe the cover?) 
Groo v. Conan
Essentially a reissue of the Groo Chronicles (with a cover and some extras!)  
And then who knows?  Groo v. Tarzan? A Groo Friends and Foes series?
 
The 40th anniversary book will apparently be something you have to buy rather than a part of the Con package like the souvenir book and guide.  However, if it's possible to do so, I will take orders and get one for whoever wants one.  
 
Hey, the Groo Chronicles came out 1989, so this will be kind of a 20th anniversary reissue with extras.  Kind of like the reissue of Star Wars on DVD with extras.  (Except this won't be the 4th or 5th reissue) 
 
Anywho, I really think this will be a great Groo Year!  
 
Take care all,
 
Gary G.
