Groo the Wanderer returns

I came across a few old comics during a clear-out and found good old Groo the Wanderer!

If you aren't familiar with Groo, well, he is a very stupid, very likeable barbarian/swordsman/protector created by the brilliant Sergio Aragones.

I only have a handful of the comics from issue 48 to 54, so I can't be considered a major fan or anthing, but the comics are great and worth checking out. My favourite character in the issues I have has to be Chakaal - there is just something about her ....

There is usually a moral and a poem somewhere in each comic too - just to give you a flavour:

"Once again, we have a fable-
Of a hero, most unstable-
Who's as smart as any table-
In the place.
He has truly found his calling-
Doing deeds that are appalling-
Always tripping, always falling-
On his face.
So sit back as we revile-
With a fable of his style-
This may take a little while-
'Till it's done.
There's no use in any pleading-
You've been warned, there's no misleading-
For you just have started reading-
Chapter One."
