Hi Folks! <BR>
<BR>
I am with Chris! The International aspect to this Groop is way cool! We even have a Groopie from Walla Walla Washington. <BR>
<BR>
And, Jose! I do not have extra Spanish Groos. But I would be happy to send you a bunch of English Groo issues if that works for you. Also, Sergio always has some Spanish trade paperbacks (with 6 issues in them) at the covention. If you get back to me quickly and tell me which ones you already have, I can buy a couple that you don't have. <BR>
<BR>

We don't have enough comic shops, and at the newspaper<BR>> sellers, only arrives a small fraction of comics published.

Appeared in the streets, along<BR>> with newspapers, but not the full collection (it came from Spain, 6 months<BR>> later!). I loved Aragonés's work, enjoy Evanier's texts (although they<BR>> were translated, the translator was not a traitor). But for a moment, I<BR>> hated the importer that brought us the first numbers. With a friend, began<BR>> the odyssey to find the remaining numbers. That forced me to learn the<BR>> little comic market (no more than 5 stores in Santiago). And they had no<BR>> Fanboy...

"¿Habré errado?" is, in spanish, the "did I<BR>> err?" after any epic fail... I bought all numbers they have... And I go<BR>> very often and ask for more... but nothing come from Spain (route for<BR>> Groo).<BR>> <BR>> But I found Groop... And thanks to the list, I have figures of PVC, a<BR>> shirt and data to request numbers to co-workers who travel to USA.<BR>> <BR></FONT><BR><BR><FONT color=#800080>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <BR></FONT>Check out my blog, <FONT color=#ff0000><B>Insight Through Hindsight</B></FONT>, <BR><FONT color=#0000ff><I>my journal in cartoon form</I></FONT>, at:<BR><A href="http://insightthroughhindsight.typepad.com/">http://insightthroughhindsight.typepad.com/</A><BR></SPAN></FONT><br /><hr />Insert movie times and more without leaving Hotmail®. <a href='http://windowslive.com/Tutorial/Hotmail/QuickAdd?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Tutorial_QuickAdd_062009' target='_new'>See how.</a></body>
