*** WARNING ***<br><br>
As I have mentioned I am slowly savoring my "complete" Groo
collection for the first time. This week I have been reading Groo #81,
"The Legend of Thaais, Part Two of Four" (Marvel). <br><br>
You may have noticed that the handles on Groo's swords are the
"same" but slightly different. I especially noticed it on page
13, in the middle left panel. There is a close up of Groo with his
swords. The left sword (to our left) has a gold handle with a black
criss-crossing wrap. The other sword is the opposite (black handle with
gold wrapping). <br><br>
Perhaps there is some ancient Japanese reason for this. Maybe it helps
Groo keep track of what is left and what is right. I wonder if the Groo
statues have retained this detail?<br><br>
