Thanks! It was fun going through this issue (twice.) It's interesting to note how well much of Groo has aged... and then there are a few other things. It'd be interesting to know what Sergio and Mark think of those things, but it's probably not a question we'd hear answered on Ask Sergio and Mark. 😀
Thanks Jason. I didn’t notice it until a few years ago myself. It was only when I went back to read the physical Pacific floppies that I read it and said “What?! Sergio wrote that?!” 😮
I always wondered why Tom recoloured the Chronicles from Gordon’s original work. I appreciate that Tom was one of the Groo Crew by then, but there must have been more to it. Was printing technology advanced to allow for more colours? Did Sergio think colour consistency was important? Did this just present an opportunity for Tom to earn a few bucks?
No, but there are TPB for a lot. You can probably find the most recent ones on Amazon, but the Pacific Comics and Epic/Marvel (even the old Dark Horse) fetch a few kopins on eBay. 🙁
Just saw this tonight...now I'm curious. My Groo The Wanderer #1 is Marvel/Epic and 75cents. Also, the cover is more of a close-up of Groo. Time to delve into this a bit more...
Groo Tube does what Groo Tube does best.
Thanks Steve! 😉
I think Macho Groo is too self-aware. Regular Groo's ignorance is part of his charm.
Yes! That’s a great observation. 😀
I love seeing these side-by-side comparisons.

Your blood song at 11:20 is my new ring tone. :)
Holy cow, you’d think that I knew that dialogue was changed for Groo Chronicles, but I did not! Great video as always!

Cool breakdown of what changed from the early Groo comics. Thanks!
Hi Chris! You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed it! 😉

I wonder if it was as simple as… someone threw out the original colour separation when Pacific Comics went under?
@@GrooTube Of course! That makes as much sense as anything :) And once again, thanks for another great Groo video!
Do they make groo omnibus, etc? I don’t see many trade paperbacks on Amazon

This is wonderful. Wow. So much artistic joy and devotion to the material. Thank you for sharing this.
You’re welcome of course! It’s really neat to look at Sergio’s ideas and see what became of them. Some cheese dip! Others… mulch. 😉

Interesting. Without checking anything, I’d guess my Canadian Groo #1 is $1. So the cover (except for the black ink) should be the same. Hmm.
