Multi-tier analytical consensus distinguishing public truth, firm posture, desk urgency, and personal exposure
The recovery of third-party encapsulation and grading expenditures when an asset is acquired at a discount below the physical cost of replacement grading fees, shipping, and insurance.
After sinking four boats (only four?), Groo and Rufferto arrive at a land where the populace is terrified over a doom prediction made by the prophet Sybilia. Groo slays an attacking monster, routs an invading army... and, rather than his usually being the *cause* of great panic and destruction, becomes the hero of the villagers. However, neither the monster, nor the invading army, were the doom-bringers that Sybilia prophesized, and the "true and horrifying doom" still lies ahead. Is Groo up to the challenge... or could HE himself BE the challenge?

To escape a monster, a panicked crowd actually runs TOWARD Groo.
Introduction and credits for the issue.
After sinking four boats (only four?), Groo and Rufferto arrive at a land where the populace is terrified over a doom prediction made by the prophet Sybilia. Groo slays an attacking monster, routs an invading army... and, rather than his usually being the *cause* of great panic and destruction, becomes the hero of the villagers. However, neither the monster, nor the invading army, were the doom-bringers that Sybilia prophesized, and the "true and horrifying doom" still lies ahead. Is Groo up to the challenge... or could HE himself BE the challenge?
Preview of the next issue.
Sergio Aragonés runs from his sketches.
Rufferto proudly performs his good deed for the day by returning two fallen eggs to a high tree nest. Unfortunately, they were alligator eggs... much to the chagrin of the two newly hatched babies, now up a tree, and their puzzled mama.
