Sergio Aragonés may be the most honored cartoonist working today, 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 is best-known for his Marginal Thinking cartoons printed in the margins of MAD magazine. In 1982 Sergio teamed with Mark Evanier to create Groo the Wanderer, an unveiled parody of Conan.
As the lunkheaded barbarian Groo continues his wandering journey, he stumbles across-and into-more of his acquaintances from years past. Sometimes, it's a friend. Other times, it's a foe. Most of the time, it doesn't matter! In this volume of long-running silliness from the award-getting team of Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier (with Stan Sakai on letters and Tom Luth on colors!), the Cheese Dip Eater crosses paths with the wise Sage, the beautiful swordswoman Chakaal, Weaver and Scribe, and Groo's own sister Grooella! This volume collects issues #5 - #8 of the greatest Groo series of 2015!
Series Overview: Sergio Aragonés may be the most honored cartoonist working today, having won every major award in the field. Groo: Friends and Foes will be an ongoing series from Dark Horse.
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 best-selling 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, Magnor, Blair Witch? 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.
