“... for I am Groot, overlord of all the timber in the galaxy!”   Jacktober continues as Tommy & Mike D. talk about the monstrous beginnings of what would become everyone’s favorite monosyllabic tree creature, GROOT!  (Tales To Astonish issue 13- 1960.) We discuss how a one-off creature can become so beloved, continuity in comics and how it possibly hurts storytelling, and we recommend some movies that feature evil trees! Fun shit!    Follow Jacked Kirby on Instagram!
