Garden. As the last of the Marvel TPBs, it's always been hard to
find. But I am surprised at the others because they show up on ebay with
some regularity. For a while I tried to collect two of each so I could
look at the whole wrap-around drawing at the same time, but I only ended up with
about half of them before I started feeling cheap and stopped
myself. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=023083017-18042008>Speaking of being cheap (and also being very Groo-ish)
last year I let myself get "bumped" by the airline so I could get a free ticket,
intending to use it for this year's trip to the Con. Well, it turns out
the !#$%^&'s won't give me a free ticket to San Diego and the
closest I can get is Ontario. So my question to you Southern California
Groopies is what is the best way to get from Ontario to San Diego on a
Wednesday starting in the late morning? Or I should say
<STRONG><EM>IS </EM></STRONG>there a way to get from Ontario to San Diego?

and at least it gets me <STRONG><EM>close</EM></STRONG> to San Diego. If I
were Tone, I'd rent a bicycle. If it were a little closer and there was
such a thing as a one-way bicycle rental, I might consider
it...</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

any little blip. These items are not easy to find and when they become available
people are willing to pay good money to fill the holes in their collections.
Check the prices on amazon.com for these same items and you will find very
similar prices. Scoop these items up while you can. Once the reprints become
available I believe the prices will go even higher.</SPAN></FONT></P>
