It is mentioned in one of the early letter columns how the Pacific issues started on voume 1 and then jumped to volume 2 on the second issue. I forget what the reason given was, beyond the fact that it was basically a mistake. Technically, each of the series was published under a differant title with each of the differant publishers, except maybe the first Dark Horse mini-series. <br>

<br>Hey Jose!<br> <br>The Pacific Groos were the first regular Groo comics. The first published Groo story was a short, wordless 4 page story in Destroyer Duck #1, which came out in Februray, 1982. Then there was a six page story in StarSlayer #5, which came out just before the Pacific Groos started in late 1982. Then came the 8 Pacifics, followed by the Groo Special published by Eclipse. This is particularly cool because it contains a story that was mostly drawn by Sergio in 1977, but never published until the Eclipse Special. <br> <br>You can find Destroyer Duck #1, StarSlayer #5, and the Eclipse Special on ebay. They, and the Pacifics were all reprinted in the Groo Chronicles. The hardback is near impossible to find, but the six softcovers that have the same stuff show up on ebay all the time. <strong><u>And hey! This fall you can get them all in the Groo Treasury!
</u></strong><br> <br>Oh, and there was also a short in Epic Illustrated #32 just before the Epics started and that is also in the Chronicles and I assume it will be in the Treasury. <br> <br>Welcome to the Groop!<br> <br>Gary G.<br>(Amateur Groo Historian) <br> <br><br> <br>

I am just beginning to read the adventures of our clumsy barbarian, one thing I have noticed when reading the PC Comic groo series that it states the comic as volume 2, I thought that was the first Groo series to come out from a Publisher. If anyone can help me that would be great as I want to fill in the gaps to my Groo Collection.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Kind Regards,<br>~Jose the Groo Fan from Australia~<br><br>
