When the barbarian with the lowest IQ in the world starts passing out words of wisdom and advice, all of his old cohorts and enemies come out of the woodwork to find out what's wrong, and no one's more confused than Rufferto, the most loyal little dog in Plentia. The adventures of Groo continue, as Sergio Aragonés, 1997 Harvey, Reuben, and Eisner Award-winner, teams with longtime accomplice Mark Evanier for a barbaric tale of temporary intelligence as only they can concoct. All new cover, new forward, and even new jokes!
Sergio Aragonés is the most honored cartoonist alive, having won every major award in the field, including the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award and the Will Eisner Hall of Fame Award. Sergio's first contribution—"A Mad Look at the U.S. Space Effort"—appeared in MAD #76, cover-dated January of 1963. For that same issue, he also contributed the cover gag (the first of many) and his first Marginal Thinking cartoons to be printed in the magazine's margins. He has since appeared in every issue of MAD except for one and has done thousands of his unique pantomime cartoons. He also produced 16 bestselling original MAD paperback books. Sergio teamed with wordsmith Mark Evanier to bring forth the adventures of Groo the Wanderer. Groo quickly became one of the longest-running "creator-owned" comic book properties, outlasting many of the companies that published it. Sergio and Mark have also produced other comics, including Fanboy, Boogeyman, The Mighty Magnor, Blair Which?, and an acclaimed series in which, together, they trash famous characters: Sergio Aragonés Massacres Marvel, Sergio Aragonés Destroys DC, and Sergio Aragonés Stomps Star Wars. For their comic book work, they have received multiple Eisner awards. View titles by Sergio Aragones
