I doubt a poll would reveal any surprises. Many of us would buy hardcover Groo material.<br><br>I'm definitely all for the idea of Groo Grams reprints. The Epic run especially is easily one of the most notorious, entertaining, and important letters pages in the history of comics. <br><br>-Al<br><br><br><br><blockquote><hr>From: alexian.emperor@earthlink.net<br>To: groop@groo.com<br>Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2008 22:38:53 -0500<br>Subject: Re: [Groop] Groo Custom Hardcovers...<br><br>

<div><font face="Calisto MT">Hardcovers would be great! I'd be happy with
the continuation of the paperback range for the time being
too. Marvel's Masterworks series have been first class. Almost
all classic Marvel comics from the '60s have been reprinted in this wonderful
format. Now Marvel has upped the ante by creating the Omnibus
series. Same thing but bigger. The Omnibus collections have about 30
issues apiece as opposed to 10 in the Masterworks. They also have all the
original letters columns (a must for a future Groo hardcover). Their price
is a bit higher book for book, but works out cheaper issue by issue. The
only thing I don't like about them is they are so damn heavy. Not good for
bathroom reading! But hey, they are still pretty sweet.
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calisto MT">So if it were up to me, I'd like to see the Groo
issues done in a large Omnibus format (approximately 30 issues apiece).
Also they should be in chronological order not rearranged like in some of the
Groo trades. The original covers should be there too, full page size also
not like in the Groo trades.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calisto MT">Shall we have a poll from the rest of the Groop on
this?</font></div>
