Sergio Aragonés Groo #2

Sergio Aragonés brings his irreplaceable wandering fool to Image Comics with this 1995 installment, and the cover sets the tone perfectly: a striking sorceress in a dragon-horned crown clutches a skull-topped staff beside a bubbling cauldron, while a hunched old witch in a purple pointed hat looms in the foreground, dripping something decidedly unpleasant. Meanwhile, a wide-eyed Groo peers in from the cave entrance, his faithful dog Rufferto at his side, looking equal parts curious and oblivious to the magical mischief unfolding before him. With "The Aquelarre" as the story title and Aragonés handling every line of pencils and inks himself, this issue delivers that signature blend of gorgeous cartooning and comedic chaos that makes Groo so enduringly fun.
