<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Calisto MT">I was also on the way back from a comic shop
with a couple friends in their mom's car. It was 1984, I was
12. No one got Groo that day, but one of us found an ad on the back of one
of our Marvels about a barbarian who was trying to make the world safe for
cheese dip. That sounded like our kind of thing, so when the Marvel/Epic
#1 came out we were on the lookout for it. I bought it and many subsequent
issues at my local corner grocery store (which also had no central AC - it was
quite a ramshackle place actually). I didn't know Sergio or Mark's
work prior to this, or even that Groo was already around. Once we learned
though, we later went back to the various comic book shops tracking down the
Pacific and Eclipse issues.</FONT></DIV>
