Set Description
A Fray of ALL 9.8 WHITES!!! My most tediously collected set, Fo Sho!!.....But my most meaningful and coveted set too:)
- As of October 2017 Thanks to the man, Rich Henn, I now have the cherry on top of my puzzle!! A SS Destroyer Duck #1 White paged 9.8.
- WARLORD.....THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND.....has brought forth on 2/5/11, the last remaining piece of my very coveted Groo Pacific Run.....a 9.8 WHITE #3!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't tell you what kind of an endeavor it has been to find this SOB!!! I believe Warlord feels as much joy (probably more so relief!!) upon finding this book for me than I!! Wayne my good man, I truly thank-you for this book, it is perfect in so many ways. I am so grateful for your persistence and perseverance.
I am HUGE Groo fan, especially of the PC run. This set holds a special place in my heart, since these books were the first comic books I ever truly sat and read to and through. I preceded to become enthralled and engulfed within each of their front and back covers, forever changing how I viewed and felt about the power of a comic or a book.
This is all due to the fact that my older Brother was into Groo and had the entire PC run and a bunch of the early Marvel books. He also had Spideys, GI Joes, Batman, X-Men and my Father's big run of TOSs. (which from what I gathered were in damnn good condition, VF-NM, until my Brother got a hold of them!!)
But for some reason whether it was Sergio's awesome art or his off the wall humor (could have been the simple fact of me just liking a ninjaesque barbarian wielding samurai swords at everything and everyone) I don't know, but I just gravitated to Groo more at first.
Enough that the Pacific run were the first comics that I "borrowed" from my Brother to take to my room to read. And I did read them, front to back, in order, again and again and again and again!!
So when it is said and done, I sumise that it is Mr. Argones and his "Groo" I have to personally thank for being the "gateway book" to my full fledged comic addiction!!
I must thank Reynold Jay for a good chunk of these books. I would still be searching, "As any fool can plainly see!"
Also much love to a couple Boardies. ESPECIALLY to that of Warlord! Upon returning from my many quests, I would yet remain fruitless for my search of 9.8 Whites if not for his aid. The man is a magnet for 9.8 Whites! "Warlord does what Warlord does best!" And how could I forget "WOLVERGEEK," for selling me his personal B E A U tiful #4! I would still be subbing prescreens and getting 9.6s, if it was not for his chivalrous deed. I am so grateful my fellow Groo Aficionado!!!
Without all of their help in assisting me in my unrelenting quest for the #1 RANKED Mmmm CHEESE DIP.......I'd still be a "Medicant!"
Thank-you for stepping into my Fray and seeing what Rufferto and I have done thus far.
