(from the 5 October issue of THE COMICS BUYER'S GUIDE)
Eclipse Comics will publish THE ROCKETEER SPECIAL #1 and GROO SPECIAL #1, both
originally announced from Pacific Comics (THE ROCKETEER SPECIAL was PACIFIC
PRESENTS #5). Since both comics were printer-ready when Pacific suspended its
publishing operations, it is a simple matter for Eclipse to take the film and
have it printed. Of course, the house ads for Pacific have to be replaced with
house ads for Eclipse. Also, half the ads in the GROO SPECIAL have been yanked
to allow room for a reprinting of the first Groo story from DESTROYER DUCK #1.
Both books should be shipped by mid-October.
There is also talk of some of Pacific's other books being taken over by Eclipse,
but nothing specific will be announced until contracts have been signed.
(More news to follow soon...)
