Gordon Kent liked what I posted about him but suggested I explain to folks why he didn't get paid for coloring the first Groo story. It's because it appeared in a benefit comic for which no one got paid. Back in 1982, our friend Steve Gerber was locked in a battle with Marvel Comics over his creation, Howard the Duck. Marvel's admitted strategy was to make the battle so expensive that Steve would just give up. That he didn't…that he was able to continue it until a satisfactory settlement was reached…had a lot to do with Destroyer Duck #1. A whole batch of us — including Jack Kirby, Alfredo Alcala, Neal Adams, Shary Flenniken, Marty Pasko, Joe Staton, Scott Shaw!, Dan Spiegle and a couple of other folks, including Steve — donated our time and talents to put out this comic, all proceeds going towards Gerber's legal bills. Sergio contributed the first-completed Groo tale. I was very proud to be involved in this project and glad to have Gordon and all the others participating.
