DEATH OF GROO GRAPHIC NOVEL (Paperback)
BY SERGIO ARAGONES AND MARK EVANIER!
The famous CONAN THE BARBARIAN SPOOF by MAD MAGAZINE artist SERGIO ARAGONES!
1st PRINT 1st EDITION. Published by MARVEL EPIC COMICS in 1987.
Sergio Aragones' "Groo" is one of the funniest comics of all time. The story of a dim-witted wanderer who causes destruction wherever he goes, this long-running series has worked in social commentary with wickedly funny tales for nearly 20 years now.
In this graphic novel from the title's days at Marvel Comics, Groo wanders into a town where the king wants him dead for costing them a war some time ago. When a series of mishaps causes the townspeople to believe Groo has perished, a celebration erupts. But Groo is alive, and heartbroken to discover how hated he is by the town. So he has to find a way to make himself a hero again.
Funny, clever and beautifully drawn, Aragones and his partner Mark Evanier did a great job with this excellent graphic novel.
He didn’t really die. That doesn’t give anything away as the reader finds this out at the beginning of the story. It’s just that everyone thinks that Groo is dead and the amusing results occur with what various people do with the information. Groo, of course, spends the whole time trying to convince everyone that he is still around, but isn’t very successful. You’ll have to read it to find out how everything straightens out in this, the first Groo graphic novel.
Highly recommended with lavish full color artwork.
