Sergio Aragonés Groo the Wanderer #3

Sergio Aragonés packs an entire battlefield onto this May 1985 Epic Comics cover, with the hapless swordsman Groo standing dead center while two enormous, panicked armies surge toward him from both sides — swords raised, faces twisted in expressions of pure comedic dread. The sheer density of Aragonés's linework is staggering, every corner of the image teeming with warriors in various states of alarm and chaos. With a creative team of Aragonés, Mark Evanier, Tom Luth, and letterer Stan Sakai behind "The Medallion," this issue delivers exactly the kind of gleeful, beautifully chaotic adventure that made Groo the Wanderer such a distinctive corner of the Marvel/Epic lineup.
