I hear Marvel/Epic is picking up _Groo_the_Wanderer_ from PC. Can anyone confirm this. It's too bad Marvel isn't putting Groo into the Marvel Universe. I'd love to see the Groo-Captain America Team-Up. :-) eric

In response to your article concerning Groo, I finally scraped
together my pennies and bought the December issue of Epic, which
includes the Groo story that was mentioned...in the prologue to
Groo's story, there is a quick summary of who/what Groo is, and
who (/what..:-)) his creators are...as well as the following
quotes, which confirm that Epic/Marvel will be picking up Groo:
"Groo the Wanderer is also the latest in our companion line of
Epic Comics. Unlike the other Epic projects which we've previewed
for you in these pages, Groo will not be available only in comics
stores and specialty shops. Because of its broad appeal, Groo is
going to be the first Epic Comics to have full newsstand distribution....
(at the end of the prologue...) If you like what you see on these
pages, please try the monthly Groo the Wanderer. The first issue
will be available this December."
Sounds pretty good to me...I think I'll pick it up...
