question #8 I asked, “</span></font>What MONTH was the 1993 version of

was what MONTH was the 1995 version of the Life of Groo graphic novel printed
in? I got mixed up myself over the fact the 1995 edition was a reprint of the
1993 version. Sorry about that.<o:p></o:p></p>

was printed in November. Once again I made a similar mistake. I meant to inquire
about the month for the reprint of the 1990 version of the Death of Groo.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

</span></font><st1:City><st1:place>Gary</st1:place></st1:City>, in reference to
the miniature questions I had... I suspected as much. I figured there was just
a minor difference in the packaging, but I did not know the whole story behind
it. I also DID actually think it was Mulch and not Rufferto in the 701 set. I
do have to admit I had no idea the piece I THOUGHT was broken off was in fact
additional frets for the Minstrel’s guitar thingy. You learn something
new every day.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'><span style='mso-tab-count:1'> </span>I
do feel the need to point out I am and was aware of the full Groo merchandise
listing you linked to, which is the reason I did suspect it was Mulch and not
Rufferto. However the list states “Groo, Chakaal, Sage & Mulch,
Minstrel” so I got the impression Sage & Mulch were one modeled
figure. Then when I read that eBay auction as Rufferto and saw an unclear image
with what looked like a separate possible dog I was a bit thrown off,
particularly without my own collection at hand to refer to. Also the list does
not specify the separate frets for the Minstrel, which is why I thought there
was a possible broken figure in that particular auction’s item.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

onto your answers to my questions, </span></font><st1:City><st1:place>Gary</st1:place></st1:City>.
You certainly did a spectacular job answering them, as I suspected you would.
Although there are some things I do not absolutely understand just yet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'><span style='mso-tab-count:1'> </span>When
I asked about the first Groo sketches from the third book of the original
Chronicle series, I think I was not clear in my own answer. I intended on
finding out whether those first sketches had appeared in an older publication. I
kind of naturally figured the sketches would appear in the hardcover reprint of
the Chronicles, but unfortunately I do not yet have that in my own collection,
so I think you ended up answering that question more than I had intended unless
you neglected to mention any earlier printings of those first sketches.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'><span style='mso-tab-count:1'> </span>Obviously
if you read my first couple of paragraphs in this e-mail you will know I messed
up in my original questioning in #s 7 & 8. Feel free to answer the
corrected questions I wrote above. If it helps any though, your answer to
question #7 about the month of the 1987 edition of the Death of Groo was a POSSIBLE
November, and I also happen to have November down for that printing in my own
list as well. However, I do not have my own copy readily available, so I can
not confirm it. I can say I do NOT have a “?” after the month in my
own listing like I do after the month for Destroyer Duck. I put that “?”
after that because I KNOW my copy of Destroyer Duck #1 does not show any month
for its printing, but I wrote down February because I was going by your
listings. Since I could not verify it for myself I put the “?”
after the month and asked question #9. Either way if you do ever figure out how
you came to those months of November and February please DO share that
conclusion with the Groop. </span></font><font face=Wingdings><span
