Icculus308win Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Yeah I found a couple in the Marvel series. None in the Pacific run that I have ever scene:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icculus308win Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 In the "Death of Groo" there is one too. Fairly blatant though, so don't know if it's a true hidden message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanj Mitra Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I loved Mad but never read Groo. Does anyone know if there is a trade or omnibus which I could try in order to get into the character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveinthecity Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I loved Mad but never read Groo. Does anyone know if there is a trade or omnibus which I could try in order to get into the character? There's a dozen or more tpb's collecting four issues each of the Marvel series. Dark Horse published an Omnibus with stuff from Destroyer Duck #1, Starslayer #5, Pacific Comics's Groo #1-#8, Eclipse Comics's Groo the Wanderer Special #1, and Epic's The Groo Chronicles #1-#6. There's lots of collected works out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icculus308win Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 If you can find a pretty used one, (since they go for quite a bit newish, around $500) the Hardcover Groo Chronicles is the WAY to go. It collects so much of the early stuff. "Sergio Aragones: The Groo Chronicles (The Expensive Edition) hardcover reprints and/or collects: 1. Destroyer Duck (1982) #1 2. Epic Illustrated (1980) #27 3. The Groo Chronicles (1989) #1 4. The Groo Chronicles (1989) #2 5. The Groo Chronicles (1989) #3 6. The Groo Chronicles (1989) #4 7. The Groo Chronicles (1989) #5 8. The Groo Chronicles (1989) #6 9. Groo Special (1984) #1 10. Groo the Wanderer (1982) #1 11. Groo the Wanderer (1982) #2 12. Groo the Wanderer (1982) #3 13. Groo the Wanderer (1982) #4 14. Groo the Wanderer (1982) #5 15. Groo the Wanderer (1982) #6 16. Groo the Wanderer (1982) #7 17. Groo the Wanderer (1982) #8 18. Starslayer (1982) #5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icculus308win Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 "Groo Adventurer" TPB which just collects 1-4 of the Marvel series is a very easy and inexpensive way to jump into the Marvel Groo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icculus308win Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Pertaining to Groo TPBs, Amazon & eBay are your friends. So many listed. Plus many sellers will have in the descriptions of their tpbs, what comics they reprint/collect. (Since some of Groo tpbs can get a little confusing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Clampett-migration Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Quick sketch Mr. Aragones drew me on a chance encounter. Didn't even ask him for one! Just talked for awhile about Groo, Mad and DC horror and he said "Got a piece of paper?". Glad I did! Great guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stroszek Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Love Groo. Got my first copy of Destroyer Duck 1 just last month and was stoked. Also found Sergio Aragones Massacres Marvel #1 in the 50 cent bin. Perhaps I overpaid. But I am delighted with both. And don't forget. Without Groo, there's no Groot.

kidcolt Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I am ashamed to admit that I have never read any Groo comics. I remember as a kid reading something that I assume was similar in the newspaper. Always wanted to read it, maybe I will buy a trade. Where would I start from, which comics should I buy to start from the beginning and how much will it cost (mid grades are fine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
