Sergio Aragonés' Groo: Mightier Than the Sword #[nn]

In "Chapter 1," Groo stumbles into the dying tyrant Pipil Khan’s kingdom, unaware he’s just walked into a deadly contest. With the throne at stake, Pipil’s three sons—Etrufio, Ogamio, and Relmihio—challenge each other to bring back Groo’s head, turning the foolhardy hero into the ultimate prize.

In "Chapter 2," Etrufio, completely unfamiliar with Groo, hires the warrior on a whim, unaware of the chaos he’s inviting. Meanwhile, Relmihio manipulates the printer to spread a false tale in his pamphlet claiming Groo has already bested Etrufio—leading the man to abandon his cause, all without ever laying eyes on the legendary hero.

In "Chapter 3," Groo stumbles into a new kind of job—sourcing dramatic disaster stories for the local printer—only to discover his mere presence seems to cause the very catastrophes he’s supposed to report. Meanwhile, Ogamio, the second son and a wizard with a flair for the dramatic, readies himself for a confrontation that promises to be as unpredictable as the chaos Groo unintentionally brings.

In "Chapter 4," Groo battles a barrage of illusions conjured by the sorcerer Ogamio, while back in the court, Relmihio spins tales to sway public opinion—turning Ogamio’s quest for the throne into a farce.

In "Chapter 6," Relmihio wields the power of the press to turn Groo against himself, convincing the bumbling hero he's evil and forcing him to abandon his swords—only to be captured. Now, with Groo in chains, Relmihio must convince Pipil Khan that this is truly the man he claims to be.

In "Chapter 7," Groo’s hunger grows as Rufferto retrieves the hero’s swords, while Relmihio struggles to convince his skeptical father that the man they’ve captured is truly the legendary warrior. The tension builds with every passing moment, and the fate of Groo hangs in the balance—though not for lack of appetite.
