Sergio Aragonés Groo the Wanderer #47

Sergio Aragonés packs a crowd onto the cover of this January 1989 Epic Comics/Marvel release, with Groo front and center — swords at the ready, faithful dog Rufferto nearby — surrounded by a wonderfully expressive cast of kings, warriors, a dark-haired sorceress, and wide-eyed onlookers all reacting to a glowing crystal blade at the scene's heart. Aragonés's cover linework crackles with his signature comedic energy, every face a small masterpiece of rubbery, exaggerated emotion. With "The 300% Solution" as the interior story and the full creative team of Aragonés, Mark Evanier, Tom Luth, and Stan Sakai aboard, this issue delivers exactly the warmly chaotic adventure fans of the wandering barbarian have come to love.
