<Groop@groo.com><BR>Subject: Re: [Groop] Eric's Call To
Action!!!<BR>Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2007 18:00:52 -0700<BR><BR>Hi Folks!<BR><BR>Ok,
so just because there is definitely going to be new Groo doesn't mean we
<BR>should go back to sitting on our haunches waiting. Eric is still right. We
<BR>need to do some fan promotion.<BR><BR>Mark, what can we do?<BR><BR>I had a
plan to get a little retailer survey put together and send it out to <BR>every
comic shop in the USA, Canada, UK, and Australia I could find that had <BR>an
e-mail and send the responses to Dark Horse. I had gotten the OK for this
<BR>from one of Dark Horse's advertising managers and I had already talked to
my <BR>local comic shop owner to get an idea of what to ask and how to ask it.
I'm <BR>still planning on doing this, although I am now going to rephrase
things a <BR>little and wait until Mark says it's OK to go public with the
Groo News.<BR><BR>Btw, My local comic book shop said he will buy somewhere
between 50-100 Groo <BR>25th Anniversary Specials because he knows he can sell
half of them right <BR>away and the other half over time because Groo one
shots are easy to sell. <BR>He liked the Pacific/Epic/Image Groos better than
the DH mini-series from a <BR>business perspective because they were primarily
each a self contained story <BR>and that made them easier to sell than a
series. Groo is currently the only <BR>back issue comic he will buy because
they always sell. Interesting.<BR><BR>I have no idea if that's typical and I
don't know how that balances out with <BR>TPB sales, but it might certainly
bode well for Sergio's "Friends & Enemies" <BR>series idea if it is ever
resurrected. That is a series AND each comic is <BR>self contained, so you
satisfy everyone (?)<BR><BR>Anywho, if the Groo mini-Series will come out in
August, hopefully Dark <BR>Horse will have a promotion going by Con Time in
July. That would be sweet!<BR><BR>Dougies art is awsome. I hope other
talented Groopies are at their drawing <BR>boards. Take care all -Gary
