Sergio Aragonés Groo the Wanderer #69

Sergio Aragonés delivers another wonderfully chaotic cover for issue #69, depicting the hapless wanderer Groo buried under a tumbling avalanche of logs — his wide-eyed, teeth-clenched grimace saying everything you need to know about his situation — while his faithful dog Rufferto scrambles nearby amid the comic mayhem. With Aragonés handling both pencils and inks himself, the linework has that irresistibly fluid, expressive energy that makes this series such a joy, and the story title "One If by Land, Two If by Sea!" hints at suitably sprawling misadventures to come. The full creative team of Aragonés, Mark Evanier, colorist Janni Parker, and letterer Stan Sakai is firing on all cylinders in this September 1990 entry.
