Sergio Aragonés Groo the Wanderer #49

Sergio Aragonés draws his beloved buffoon barbarian in full smitten glory for this March 1989 Epic Comics offering — Groo grins ear to ear, dual swords raised, heart symbols swirling around him while his loyal dog Rufferto beams alongside, both apparently struck by a very enthusiastic case of affection. With Aragonés handling both pencils and inks on a cover this expressive and funny, it's a warm reminder of why this long-running series earned such a devoted readership. "The Protector" promises another comedic adventure from the full creative team of Aragonés, Mark Evanier, colorist Tom Luth, and letterer Stan Sakai.
