HAHAHA... but seriously,<BR>

I figured before I got anyone hot under the collar, I'd best answer the question with some kind of legitimate answer.<BR>

I'd have to say #22 - I thought the cover was decent and most of all, it was the first time I had come across Groo. I'd been reading MAD for several years by that point, but one day, while in a used bookstore, there were several comics tossed into a cheop-o bin. As a fan of Sergio's work in MAD, I picked up Groo with great interest and #22, along with an issue of the Thing and X-Men (just before the Mutant Massacre), started me off on a comic-book-collecting firestorm.<BR>
