Sergio Aragonés Groo the Wanderer #32

From Sergio Aragonés' pen comes this utterly charming 1987 Epic Comics gem — cover art by Aragonés himself captures the lovable, dim-witted barbarian Groo cheek-to-cheek with his devoted dog Rufferto, each lost in their own thought bubble: Groo dreaming of a magnificent roasted feast while Rufferto thinks simply of a glowing red heart. It's a quietly funny moment that perfectly sums up everything endearing about this series — man and mutt united, if for very different reasons. With Aragonés writing and drawing, Mark Evanier co-scripting, and Stan Sakai on letters, "The Bankers of Avara" arrives with the full creative team firing on all cylinders.
