Part of Marvel's back-catalogue to be available online

Post by Jet_Jaguar »

From BBC news:

"Comic book giant Marvel has made 2,500 of its back issues available online in an attempt to introduce its characters to a younger, computer-savvy audience.

One tenth, 250 in all, will be able to read free of charge for a limited time.

Subscribers to the service will have access to the first issues of titles including The Amazing Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four and The Incredible Hulk.

New issues, however, will not go online until at least six months after they first appear in print."

Will this include any Groo back issues published by Marvel?

This will not include any Groo issues, because Marvel does not own Groo.
