size=2>"Groo & the Poachers" is a 4 page original story that appeared in The Groo Chronicles #5 and the Groo Chronicles Hardback. "Groo and the Glut" is a 3 page story that appeared in Wizard #78. Then there is the half page (Sunday Funnies style) "story" in Dark Horse Extra #42. That one would be hard to reprint because of the format. But maybe the other two, or at least Groo & the Glut," could be reprinted someday in another Groo Special. </FONT></SPAN></div> <div><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>-Gary G. </FONT> </SPAN></div><BR><BR> <div><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>-----Original Message-----</FONT></SPAN> <BR><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>From: groop-bounces@groo.com [</FONT></SPAN><A href="mailto:groop-bounces@groo.com"><SPAN lang=en-us><U><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>mailto:groop-bounces@groo.com</FONT></U></SPAN></A><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>] On Behalf Of Mo

The Groo For Sale story may not be terribly hard to come by, but it's a neat item to whip out and show to casual Groo fans. Including it in the 25th makes sense if you think about the history of the comic.</FONT></SPAN></div> <div><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>I still love reading the original Groo Special from eclipse. I think it is one of the greatest comics I have ever read. The stories
it collects are so diverse and crucial to Groo lore... and the cut-outs are a flat out awesome addition. But overall, the attention to detail and the sense of adventure alive within Groo as a comic was just so unique in the days when the book was taking shape. All the books printed under Pacific carry a similar feel to what I'm referring to, but that Special in particular is like a time capsule of treasures.</FONT></SPAN></div> <div><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>-Al</FONT></SPAN> </div><BR><BR><BR> <div><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>>From: Mark Evanier <evanier@gmail.com></FONT></SPAN> <BR><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>>Reply-To: evanier@gmail.com</FONT></SPAN> <BR><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>>To: Groo Mailing List <groop@groo.com></FONT></SPAN> <BR><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>>Subject: Re: [Groop] Thinking about the 2nd story in the "25th </FONT></SPAN><BR><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT
