Sergio Aragonés Groo #5

Sergio Aragonés is in fine form with this fifth issue of his Image run, and the cover says it all — Groo strolls along the shoreline, blissfully whistling a tune with his faithful dog Rufferto at his heels, while a ship blazes magnificently behind him in a towering column of black smoke. The wandering barbarian's cheerful obliviousness to the nautical catastrophe at his back is pure Aragonés comedy, rendered with his signature loose, energetic linework. With a story titled "A Little War" and this much destruction already on display, issue #5 promises exactly the kind of gleefully chaotic adventure that makes Groo such a delight.
