Destroyer Duck has always been an interest of mine just cause of the history behind it. Now that I'm a Groo Fan I definitely want to hunt down a copy. It's interesting how vastly different the colors and inks are between the three versions.
@@GrooTube what issue of starslayer has a Groo story in it. I almost grabbed a few on the shelf of my LCS, but couldn't remember what number had a Groo in it.
@@bobby_the_ps2 Grab yourself a copy of #5 (and #4 if you want some Groo ads.) I just recorded a video on those two comics a few days ago, so keep watching for that in the next couple weeks!
Great side by side comparison of the original Groo and the updated version. I of course much prefer the new version since that’s the Groo we’ve all come to know and love 😆
Great video, Darren. I love Destroyer Duck, even if Groo were not in it. Really fun read, including the Savage Dragon crossover where Steve Gerber (sorta) steals back Howard the Duck from Marvel. As for the blood/no blood thing, Sergio did a little gag in the Groo Grams of Image #11 regarding the change.
@@GrooTube u have to watch the 1st episode of Garth Marangis Dark place on you tube. All the blood in the Destroyer Duck Groo reminded me of that scene
Destroyer Duck was kind of proto image. Steve Gerber was mad at Marvel over rights of his character. Howard an left Marvel an made this book as a protest.. irony Disney had a legal battle of vs Marvel bx Howard looked at Donald. DOUBLE IrOny. Disney owns Marvel An HoWard the Duck lol
G'day, Darren. Very nice video as always! 😊👍 Regarding the so-called retroactive continuity ('retcon') at 3:35, have you seen Rick & Morty Series 6, Episode 7? - It's hilarious. (They even went to the effort of making a fake web page just for ultimate completeness of one of the minor gags. Absolute legends.) Back to Groo: It always bothered us that Groo's collar is now so tight that it's invisible. There's no way Groo would want an ultratight collar like that. The V-neck is waaaaay better! 🤩👍👍 Also, it seems so unnecessary to have redrawn Groo's nose and so on. It's not like he looks vastly different, right?* (*for example, compared to the striking evolution of Garfield's appearance, as you covered expertly in your very entertaining Garfield episode of Growing Up '80s). [- Speaking of which, we just listened to the (R&R🤣) detective episode and laughed out loud several times. So funny! 😂 (Sorry, mate - no hard feelings ,'ey? )]
I don’t know why, but I’ve never watched an episode of Rock and Morty! Love it when folks go the extra mile with the jokes. 😀 Growing Up 80’s comments?! Ha! Glad you listened! Robin and I just went for a walk this afternoon! I lobbied to record a podcast for the year in review (1982) back in December, but it didn’t happen. 🙁 I’ve got to ask… Comfortable Place on the Couch, a Midnight Oil podcast?
@@GrooTube - You know it, champion. - Yes, we are now into Comfy Place on the Couch and lovin' it. Thanks to you gents, we are learning so much more about our own citizens/icons 😄; and considering your fandom, it's epic to hear that the Oils performed, not just somewhere in Ontario, but specifically in Thunder Bay! Superb! We love all your work. Please keep up the great productions. [That 1982: Year in Review episode would('ve?) be(en) great! Is there still a chance? Upvote!👍] Also,... WHAAAAaaa..?! 🤩 You've got the entirety of Rick and Morty still to watch!?! - LUCKY!!! 😁 - O, to be so blessed!* *By the way, it's probably not recommended for your kids just yet - just for you. Well,... Hmmm...(?) see what you think. 🤷
PS: In addition to Rick and Morty, here are some things that you (and probably your boys) will enjoy: The Chosen; The Mandalorian; The Book of Boba Fett; Obi-Wan Kenobi; Andor. 🌟
Haven’t watched Andor yet, but Mando is the best thing to come out of the Star Wars universe since Empire! Loved Boba Fett and Obi Wan too! Have you ever seen the Oils play live?
@@GrooTube >>> Totally agree about Mando. In other matters,.... 😱😔 A shocking and shameful revelation has just occurred here: It turns out that, despite being in close proximity since the late 1970s*, and even having lived under the governmental guidance of Peter himself in the 2000s, nobody in this office has ever actually seen Midnight Oil play live!!! 😱😔 We are ashamed ...and it's too late now - we've missed 'em (forever) by 3 months ('The Final Tour')🥲 ...unless they decide to come back just one more time. *(At the time, we were probably all too busy watching Degrassi 😉, ...and then Wayne's World in the cinema about 15 times each. 🤣👍) PS: In G-Up'80s, you boys humbly talked down your teenaged musical abilities, but the preserved recordings demonstrate that Heads Up rocked. That's right, wail that top E, brother! 🎸 PPS: Have you ever seen anyone lift their snare hand quite so high as Rob Hirst? 😁 Rock on.
Whoa! Sergio redrew Groo for the Groo Chronicles? ReGroo Drew? No, I had it right the first time. Not since "Han Shot First" has a ret-con rocked me so much. Why Sergio? Just do a flashback where Groo got plastic surgery to explain why his look changed so much. That would have been so much better. But, thank you Darren for letting me know about...what I can only hope future generations will call...GrooGate!

This is like comparing the VHS copy with the Streaming copy.
You know it! Remastered for 4K! Ha ha! 😀

Yeah, me too. I’m tempted to grab a couple more issues of DD in order to give our a fair shake. Same with Star Slayer.

Another great vid talking about our favorite character and artist. Thank You my friend!
You’re welcome John! Thanks for the kind words. 😀
I like that Groo's "first appearance" was a fundraiser.
Great side by side comparison of the original Groo and the updated version. I of course much prefer the new version since that’s the Groo we’ve all come to know and love 😆
Thank you! I have a feeling that perhaps Mr Kent was more into the blood and gore than Sergio was. 😀

Hi Jason, thanks! Oh! I’ll have to check out issue 11, that’s cool!
Ah, the memories. What great stuff.
Great comparison! Thanks for sharing
Thank you “Mr Powdered Toast Man!” I always appreciate you letting me know you’ve been by to watch the videos! 😀
@@GrooTube You kidding me? You're the best Grootuber in the biz. Keep it up!
Blood blood blood an bits of sick GARTh MaRANGI
I feel like I’m missing out on a joke here. 😉 But perhaps the joke’s on me. What do you mean, “Slow of mind?”
