[Groop] Groo Sale!

[Ryan Simmons]

Ho boy.   Ok, this is delicate ground.  So I'm going to tread carefully
while being completely honest.

I have every copy of groo up to the first few DH mini-series in digital
format.  Which I downloaded off the internet without hardly even looking
for them.  They were readily available to anyone with an internet
connection years and years ago.

Now I know a lot of people will get ticked at that.   However, let me state
my moral stance on this.

1.)  I own a physical copy, if not two or more, of every single Groo that
has ever been published.
2.)  I have never provided, offered, or "seeded" any of these digital
copies to anyone else, ever.
3.)  There were zero legally available digital copies of Groo anywhere to
be had when I downloaded them.

So I did not benefit the "pirates" (what pirates?) that I downloaded the
copies from in any way.  Not a penny, not a single endorsement, not a
review or mention to anyone anywhere, I don't even remember where I
downloaded them from (It's been at least 4 years since I did.).

So why did I download them?   Because I have all the physical copies
bagged, boarded, boxed, stored, etc.   Really a big pain in the butt to dig
them out.   I couldn't give Sergio or Mark any money at the time to get
them digitally because I certainly would have if they made it an option.
Heck, I would now and I will for these newer ones that I don't already have
digitally.   This is the first I've heard of them allowing Groo to be in
a digital format.

Phil Foglio hosts Girl Genius for free on his website.  And he has raved,
absolutely crowed about the HUGE increase in sales he's experienced by
offering his art for free with the option to buy.   It works.  And I
understand why it works.

I've got all the Pacifics, the Special, the Epic/Marvels, the Images, etc.
All of them.  Had them for years on my computers.

I'm thrilled to see that Groo is now legally available online for us fans
to buy it legitimately instead of feeling all guilty for downloading it in
some back alley.

Don't hate me.   Or sue me.

Ryan
