I'm chilean. We don't have enough comic shops, and at the newspaper
sellers, only arrives a small fraction of comics published. The formal
ones (hardcover) go to some bookstores, at the children's section, (they
have a stupid rule that says, "it has drawings, then it's for children,
very little ones."

Several years ago, "Fanboy" came to us. Appeared in the streets, along
with newspapers, but not the full collection (it came from Spain, 6 months
later!). I loved Aragonés's work, enjoy Evanier's texts (although they
were translated, the translator was not a traitor). But for a moment, I
hated the importer that brought us the first numbers. With a friend, began
the odyssey to find the remaining numbers. That forced me to learn the
little comic market (no more than 5 stores in Santiago). And they had no
Fanboy... But had Groo...

It was a collection of semi-hard cover (6 numbers in one). I believe it
include "Island of Felicidad" and I become to "fanboy" of Groo...

Later,     the remaining numbers of fanboy came to Chile, so at least I've
that collection complete ...

I remember that afternoon, in a hidden shop in Santiago, reading
(devouring) pages of groo... "¿Habré errado?" is, in spanish, the "did I
err?" after any epic fail... I bought all numbers they have... And I go
very often and ask for more... but nothing come from Spain (route for
Groo).

But I found Groop... And thanks to the list, I have figures of PVC, a
shirt and data to request numbers to co-workers who travel to USA.
