On sale Sep 15, 2015 | 112 Pages | 9781630083878

As the bird-brained wanderer Groo and his loyal mutt Rufferto crisscross the countryside, they encounter various acquaintances from years past--the hapless seaman Captain Ahax; the sinister witches Arba and Dakarba; the pompous Arcadio the Hero; and Groo's own sweet Granny Groo, who raised from a tot and would never try to profit from him! What will ensue from all these chance meetings? With Groo, the only possible result is chaos! The award-winning team of Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier are joined by Tom Luth on colors and Stan Sakai on letters! This volume collects issues #1 - #4 of the Dark Horse Friends and Foes series.
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
