I was looking through some comics and found a reprint of the story that featured the first version of Groot. It was first in Tales To Astonish 13, dated November 1960, and reprinted in Weird Wonder Tales 19 which was dated December 1976. Marvel was one for reprinting. DC was no slouch either. I bought a lot of reprint books, even when I was buying the back issues, the stories were usually cheaper. It's a goofy story, a lot of their SF was monster based and a lot of the stories are goofy. This Groot is evil, bent on world domination, but easily enough to fight. Once you find that Achilles heel. You'll probably get a bit of a laugh out of the story anyway.
