Ok, I've actually done two lists so far -- the foreign Groos, and
another, newer one. I'll include both below:
Here are the summaries for the foregin Groos I've got(note the two
different runs of different format Groos in Spain):
French:
Sergio Aragones Groo Le Barbare #1, Zenda Editions

359 Belgian Francs
1)French Title: Groo Et L'Ambassadeur

Note: The cover is similar to that from Marvel #22, except Groo
is scratching his head confusedly and the army in the
background is laughing at Groo. There are little 'marginals'
of Groo on all the pages. The intro by Sergio in Marvel #1
appears in this 2-story, hardcover, 'bande-desine'. Mark
Evanier told me that Sergio Aragones and team never got a
cent from this book.
