Who is Arba?

Arba is a sorceress in the comic world of Groo the Wanderer, frequently paired with her companion Dakarba. The two form a recurring duo of scheming magic-users who cross paths with the bumbling swordsman Groo across his chaotic wandering adventures.

Stepping out of the sun-baked pages of Sergio Aragonés' beloved comedy-adventure world, Arba made her entrance in the landmark 1987 graphic novel The Death of Groo, conjured by the dream team of Aragonés and Mark Evanier. A fixture of the Copper and Modern Age Groo universe, she's woven through nearly three decades of misadventure alongside the likes of Groo himself, Rufferto, Minstrel, Drumm, and her frequent companion Dakarba. With appearances spanning Groo the Wanderer, Sergio Aragonés' Groo, and Groo: Friends and Foes, Arba is one of those recurring presences that rewards longtime readers — a familiar face in a wonderfully chaotic world that has delighted fans for generations.
