It's about time a new Grendel story came out. When Dark Horse tried to
reprint the first 12 issues of the original Comico run, they cancelled it
without warning and hadn't done any Grendel projects since.

VIVAT GRENDEL!

Well, Matt Magner was busy revamping Mage and writting Sandman Mystery
Theatre. Now, Matt has left Sandman Mystery Theatre (although he did a general
plot which Steven Seagle is working from) and now has more time to work on
Grendal... 
VIVAT GRENDAL!

Cool Dark Horse stuff out in July...
   Groo creator Sergio Aragones creates a all new comedy mini-series, Sergio
Aragones' Loader Then Words. Simular to his cartoons in MAD, but this time
he does it on the whole page.
   In Nexus: Nightmare in Blue, a four issue mini-series from Mike Baron and
Stve Rude, you will get to decide which intergalatic villian Nexus should
battle.
   Cult hit, Too Much Coffee Man, gets his sold out DHP stories reprinted in
32 page special.
   Jay Stphens brings Jetcat, the worlds youngest hero, to life in Land Of
Nod a three issue mini-series. This cute as hell comedy shows why Jays was
nominated for Harvey Award for humor.

lines. The Art Of Comic-Book Inking, by 14 of the best inkers today (with

(The Sergio Aragones' series [_Louder Than Words_] was OK, if you're a 
fan of his work from Mad Magazine. it won't have the same appeal if you 
preferred his work on _Groo_, although Dark Horse *will* publish a new 
_Groo_ series soon. once upon a time, there was a joke regarding former 
publishers of Groo and how they all managed to go under, yet Groo kept 
ticking [First Comics and Marvel's Epic imprint; there's another that 
escapes me]. with the move to Image, it was _Groo_ that went under, only 
lasting twelve [brilliant] issues before Evanier and Aragones decided to 
retire him. it will be interesting to see what's in store for the 
cheese-dip loving barbarian's return.)
