Hi Folks!<BR>
<BR>
Well, once again I am slow of mind, or at least slow of catching up on e-mails. <BR>
<BR>
So a belated Whoo-Hooo!!! (be still my beating heart!) I know we've heard some of these things before, but I think this time they will happen. <BR>
A big Sergio crowd scene for the 40th anniversary San Diego Con book (Maybe the cover?) <BR>
Groo v. Conan<BR>
Essentially a reissue of the Groo Chronicles (with a cover and some extras!) <BR>
And then who knows? Groo v. Tarzan? A Groo Friends and Foes series?<BR>
<BR>
The 40th anniversary book will apparently be something you have to buy rather than a part of the Con package like the souvenir book and guide. However, if it's possible to do so, I will take orders and get one for whoever wants one. <BR>
<BR>
Hey, the Groo Chronicles came out 1989, so this will be kind of a 20th anniversary reissue with extras. Kind of like the reissue of Star Wars on DVD with extras. (Except this won't be the 4th or 5th reissue) <BR>
<BR>
Anywho, I really think this will be a great Groo Year! <BR>
<BR>
Take care all,<BR>
<BR>

Sorry I haven't posted for a while here. I somehow <BR>> misfigured my e-mail settings and for a few months, I didn't get the <BR>> messages posted here. If you asked me something and I didn't respond to <BR>> it, please ask again.<BR>> <BR>> A few announcements...<BR>> <BR>> As you've probably heard, MAD is cutting back on publishing. Sergio <BR>> will now have more time to work on GROO projects and he swears he'll get <BR>> going on GROO MEETS CONAN very soon.<BR>> <BR>> Dark Horse will publish a GROO TREASURY (that may not be the final <BR>> title) around November of this year. This will be a thick book in color <BR>> reprinting almost everything that was published before we went to Epic <BR>> -- the Pacific issues, the Eclipse special and a few other items. In <BR>> other words, it's pretty much what was in THE GROO CHRONICLES. There <BR>> will be some new pages and a new intro and a new cover and a few other <BR>> goodies. It'll be around 340 pages and while they haven't set the price <BR>> yet, it'll probably be around $30. Don't publicize that yet. Let's let <BR>> Dark Horse announce it.<BR>> <BR>> Sergio, Stan Sakai and I will be guests at the Wondercon in San <BR>> Francisco February 27-March 1. There will be a GROO panel on Saturday <BR>> at around 3 PM and I'm hosting other panels throughout the three days.<BR>> <BR>> Sergio and I will be guests at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo up <BR>> in Calgary on April 25-26. Sergio hasn't been announced yet but he will <BR>> be.<BR>> <BR>> The only other convention this year where you're likely to see more than <BR>> one GROO person will be the Comic-Con International in San Diego. By <BR>> the way, there's a book coming out on the history of the con (this year <BR>> is the 40th one) and Sergio has done a giant crowd scene drawing for it.<BR>> <BR>> I think that's everything for now.<BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> Groop mailing list<BR>> Groop@groo.com<BR>> http://mailman.newdream.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/groop<BR><BR><br /><hr />Windows Live™: E-mail.
