<DIV>New Groo Hardcovers would be nice. Dark Horse has been making some real
nice hardcovers for their other titles lately. They should
totally make some for Groo run.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This Dark Horse/Star Wars book they just released, for
example, is a Slipcase Hardcover that collects <STRONG>832 pages</STRONG>
of comics into a giant Leather hardcover that weighs 11
pounds: </DIV>

<DIV>Five or six of these monsters would collect the whole
Groo/Epic (1-120) run on new glossy paper. <IMG

<DIV>They could do that for Groo if they wanted to! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Maybe the recent Groo/Eisner nomination will inspire them to churn out more
spruced up collections....<IMG

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Yeah, something like
that would be way cool. But apparently the decision by the powers that
be at DH was they would make more money selling more copies of a less
expensive publication. I have no clue whether they are correct or
not. I know Sergio has no trouble selling the hardback edition of The
Death/Life of Groo book for $30 at San Diego. They go fast.
