Jack Kirby/Steve Ditko cover; 1st app of Groot
Tales to Astonish #13 has become a classic comic for boasting the first appearance of Groot in the memorably titled "I Challenged...Groot! The Monster from Planet X!" It was still a big surprise to collectors when Groot (and the value of this book) took off as one of Marvel's most beloved heroes. The character had been reimagined in 2006 as a noble figure in the comics, but the former villain became a proper pop-culture star when Groot was recruited for 2014's big-screen
Guardians of the Galaxy alongside Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Gamora, and Drax the Destroyer. From there, Groot would find himself branching out to plenty of other hot projects. That included his revived version of Baby Groot being showcased in the "I Am Groot" series of shorts on Disney+. Today, fans are fervently hoping for Groot's return alongside his pal Rocket Racoon in more upcoming MCU projects.
