❤️ Sergio!

I only met Sergio a couple of times but he's a real sweet guy.

My understanding--which could be wrong--is that Marvel was already working on their creator-owned comics imprint, Epic, when Aragones pitched them GROO, but it took them too long to get going. (EPIC ILLUSTRATED, Marvel's HEAVY METAL challenger, predated Pacific.)

He was the best! Thanks for sharing.

I feel like the last 20 years of this business is publishers figuring out how to do all that in reverse.
