More Groo

groohellonearth01

We promised you more Groo and more Groo is what you're gonna get. The Groo 25th Anniversary Special comes out in August and then the following month, you get the first issue in a new, four-issue mini-series called Groo: Hell on Earth. The drawing above is the cover of the first issue, which goes on sale September 19. Here's what the ad solicitation for this issue says…

Groo is back…and oddly enough, that may not be the biggest disaster looming over the world. It seems to be getting hotter everywhere…that is, in those places where it isn't getting colder than ever before. The usual suspects — Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier — bring you the first chapter of what will eventually be four issues. That is, if the planet in the comic survives that long!

I have nothing to add to that except to say that it feels good to be Grooing again. There will be a special Groo Panel this year at the Comic-Con International in San Diego…one of (at the moment) fourteen panels I'm doing there. Details will be along soon.
