Groo: Minstrel Melodies #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier launch a brand-new four-issue miniseries with this delightfully chaotic opener from Dark Horse. The cover — penciled and inked by Aragonés himself — says it all: Groo charges gleefully into the fray dual-wielding his swords amid a cloud of carnage and tumbling soldiers, while a panicked jester clutches his lute and flees alongside a wide-eyed young girl and a spotted dog, with Vikings and assorted unfortunates caught up in the surrounding mayhem. With Stan Sakai on lettering and Carrie Strachan's vibrant colors bringing every frantic detail to life, Groo: Minstrel Melodies #1 promises the warmhearted absurdity that has made this wandering barbarian one of comics' most enduring comedic figures.

The Minstrel wanders into a village and sings a song that tells a tale of Groo which, at the mention of Groo's name, incites mass panic in and total evacuation by the villagers. Later, he runs across other villagers who are reconstructing the ruins of a village (not destroyed by Groo, but by "normal" storms, tremors, and fire) and sings a tale of how Groo ran across a tour group paying to see the site of ancient ruins and decides to help a poor, run-down village by destroying it and have its residents become wealthy when tourists pay to see the ruins. Oh, but, where will those folks live now?
