My Comic Book Collection: GrooGram or GrooGranny?

My letter to Groo: Friends and Foes made the letter page in issue #8. Naturally I talked a lot about Irene Ryan.

  Here's a letter I sent to Mark Evanier and it ended up in the letter column for Groo vs. Conan #4.     It made my day!   The cover of Groo vs. Conan #4 is by Sergio Aragones and Thomas Yeates. Groo was created by Sergio Aragones. Conan the Barbarian was created by Robert E. Howard. Dark Horse Comics

My Comic Book Collection: American Splendor Special: A Step Out of the Nest #1 (August 1994)

  Last night I was in a sour mood. Before going to bed, I reread this issue (My very first Harvey Pekar comic book from 1994!) and it ended up cheering me up for some reason. I guess good comic books can do that for you when you're feeling low every now and then. The older I get, the more I find Pekar to be an inspiration. I guess I can sympathize with a working class artist who wasn't too happy with his job and just wanted more out of his life. Yeah, I can relate to that.
