Wasn't there hidden riddles in some of the stories? and also a hidden character or something in the artwork? ~Peter — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.223.201.14 ( talk) 07:28, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
We need a time frame here: When this comic started and when it ended (did it end?). -- Menchi 06:35, 10 Oct 2003 (UTC)
I know what you mean.
I was the guy that wrote this, and I'm not sure what the time frame was. I dunno about Pacific, the Marvel run began in the mid-1980s, and lasted into the 1990s; the Epic run was from 1994-1995 (I know this because it ended around the same time the O. J. Simpson trial; and Dark Horse began in about 1998 or so. I'm not sure if it ended or changed since. Groo's hard to keep track of.
Thanks to the guys who HTMLd this, by the way. It look much better than how I did it. That was the first article I'd ever done.

This article needs at least one great image of Groo (and Rufferto). Alexander 007 05:14, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Looks great. Somebody even added a panel (from an issue that I happen to have). Alexander 007 09:52, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The time frame should be, well i read them quite a few years ago, so it should be " The Groo comics came out a few years ago. A.D. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.150.162.178 ( talk) 17:54, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Urhm... I amended the bibliography since then including the dates of which issues came out when. The first Groo story was published in 1982 and they continue to the present time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The One Watcher ( talk • contribs) 12:10, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
The section on "in jokes" was mistitled. An in joke is one that requires some bit of inside knowledge in order to get. A "running gag" is a joke that shows up over and over and over again. As an example, "I am the Prince of Chichester" is a running gag. The fact that when they introduced that line, the editor of the magazine was Daniel Chichester is an in joke. Since the Groo editors didn't actually do anything, they were perhaps seeing if he at least read the book.
The frequent appearance of a foursome that looks like the four creators is both an in joke and a running gag.-- 192.35.35.36 20:28, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I changed references to the four creators to use last names. While I suspect all of us who edit this page are fans, WP is an encyclopedia, not a fansite, and the style should reflect this.-- 192.35.35.34 16:47, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I added Captain Ahax, Pipil Khan, and Weaver and Scribe to the list of recurring characters. I also included a mention of Arcadio's chin. Please rewrite what I said in any way. I was concerned with getting the names in, and I did not want to leave them as empty stubs.-- 192.35.35.36 17:15, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I tidied up the Bibliography. Also I added a few original Groo stories that were not included. Let me know how you like or dislike the layout. The One Watcher 22:27, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
I added details, mostly based on the Kim Thompson interview in Comics Journal #128. In the pre-interview material, Thompson explained that the printed interview was severely edited by him for good English, yet the original was so much more expressive and directly understandable: "I think of him as the Picasso of public speaking".-- 192.35.35.36 18:22, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
In the section Running gags there is a link to "Issue #1". It currently points to a non existing section at the disambiguation page for the word "Issue". Where is it supposed to go? Bergsten 17:09, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
Is there any scope to add information about the Groo the Wanderer card game?
Looks to me like Groo brings destruction to every comics publisher, too, & Sergio doesn't know it. (And what does Mark Evanier do?) Trekphiler 14:24, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Added info for upcoming 25 year anniversary special and new mini-series. The One Watcher 10:13, 01 June 2007
Not sure where this can be added into the article, but it is practically impossible to get the answers to a few of these frequently asked questions from Mark Evanier (because he's so smarmy) or Sergio (because he can never remember); however, they are answered in Issue 65 of the Epic Run, page 23, dated May 1990 (and there's your reference).
° What is that blue thing on Groo's chest?
° What is that tiny skull on Groo's belt?
For what it's worth, that tiny dagger Groo carries is also apparently called a hamidashi, although nobody ever seemed to want to know that.
I knew I had read it somewhere and, after rifling through my archive back and forth, found this nugget in the Groo Grams page of this issue. Mark confirmed it as factual (without his usual sarcasm) so, since it's referenced, maybe somebody can include it in the article. 208.38.59.161 ( talk) 03:51, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
I'm adding a new external link (The Groo's Dictionary / El Diccionario Groo) but someone is continuously removing it. May anyone help me? Why can't I add it? Is something wrong with the link (diccionariodegroo.blogspot.com)?
I added the new section of "Reprints" to the Bibliography to include the second and third printings of Death of Groo and the second printing of Life of Groo. Hopefully this will satisfy all parties without having a tug of war between adding a reprint into the Reprint Collections section. The One Watcher ( talk) 02:07, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
The Dark Horse link [1] describes the new Groo as "Each month of this yearlong series". The small print at the bottom of the link says "Format: FC, 32 pages; Ongoing" It's not our job to override the sources. Find an RS that calls this a maxiseries, and then we'll actually have something to talk about.
The connection implied between #1 and #2 is way too tenuous for me to consider them in any way connected. It's no different than an arc ending with the appearance of something mysterious that is going to be important to the next arc. That's done all the time, and is described as "two arcs", not "one arc".
But it gets worse. Even if we were to accept this connection as creating a single plot-line, you are blatantly violating WP:CRYSTAL by assuming all 12 issues will indeed "connect".
Heck, you're also violating WP:CRYSTAL by assuming they will complete all 12 issues, or not change their mind and expand it a bit. We can pass along the announcement that they intend to put out 12 issues, but not much more. And "not much more" precludes going beyond the given description.

I deleted the behind-the-scenes description of a certain actor posing for Sergio as the Sage. It's random trivia so far as things to say in a brief summary regarding the Sage. However, I encourage someone expanding on the "behind the scenes" concept as a separate paragraph or subsection on Groo-humor, about how metahumor was included at times in the book's inside front cover and so on. For example, models/actors who would dress up in costumes and pose for Sergio, and naming Goulet as the Sage would be spot-on in such a write-up, complete with ref to the issue. (Not me, my back issues are pretty much all boxed up.) Choor monster ( talk) 12:05, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
And don't forget, behind-the-scenes was half the Groo-vs-Conan series content anyway, so yes, we do need something about this strain of metahumor. Choor monster ( talk) 15:52, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
Didn't there used to be a kinds of humor section here? I was going to add that the latest F&F#7 had a hidden message, and it seems the humor section is, hmmm, also hidden. Choor monster ( talk) 20:39, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Does anyone know if the two Groo projects mentioned in this article are still happening? Groo: Day of the Gods and Groo meets Tarzan. I haven't seen any other mention of the two series.

Mark Evanier stated on a Facebook group both works are completed, but the release is delayed due to the pandemic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:730:7BC0:F90D:4ED6:5E8D:2EB0 ( talk) 04:57, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
Removing Starslayer #4 Pacific and the six Marvel Age issues from Bibliography under the Original Publications section. These are not original Groo stories. These are only articles, cover art, ads, etc. If these are wanted to be added to the bibliography then hundreds of additional entries are needed and need to have an additional section created specifically for them. I noticed people on the Groo the Wanderer Facebook page thinking they needed these seven publications in order to have a "complete" Groo collection. In reality these are an arbitrarily chosen handful of Groo appearances that do not contain Groo stories and should not be listed as part of the Groo library of stories. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The One Watcher ( talk • contribs) 14:54, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
