[Groop] FW: Fw: Where was I when I first read Groo

[Gary Grossmann]

Hi Folks!  

 

I am with Chris!  The International aspect to this Groop is way cool!  We even have a Groopie from Walla Walla Washington.  

 

And, Jose!  I do not have extra Spanish Groos.  But I would be happy to send you a bunch of English Groo issues if that works for you.  Also, Sergio always has some Spanish trade paperbacks (with 6 issues in them) at the covention.  If you get back to me quickly and tell me which ones you already have, I can buy a couple that you don't have. 

 

Gary G.
