Sergio Aragonés Groo the Wanderer #37

There's something wonderfully ominous about this March 1988 cover from Sergio Aragonés: our oblivious hero Groo strolls cheerfully through a doorway — sword slung over his shoulder, a musical note floating from his lips — while the tiny Rufferto trots alongside him, both utterly unaware that they're surrounded on all sides by a dense, shadowy horde of monstrous creatures lurking in the darkness. Aragonés' linework makes the contrast between Groo's blissful nonchalance and the nightmarish crowd pressing in from every angle genuinely funny and a little eerie at once. With the full creative team of Aragonés, Mark Evanier, Tom Luth, and Stan Sakai behind "The Village of Miggledy," this issue delivers exactly the kind of warmly crafted chaos that made Groo such a delight throughout the era.
