Sergio Aragonés Groo the Wanderer #74

Groo's knack for landing in the middle of royal chaos is on full display in this 1991 Epic Comics entry, issue #74 of Sergio Aragonés' long-running comedy-adventure series. The cover, drawn and inked by Aragonés himself, depicts a flustered crowned woman and a muscular, bejeweled king sharing an uncomfortable close encounter, flanked by a crowd of warriors, nobles, and even a small spotted animal — all rendered in Aragonés' wonderfully expressive, detail-packed style. It's the middle chapter of "The Scepter of King Cetro" three-parter, with the full creative team of Aragonés, Mark Evanier, Tom Luth, and Stan Sakai bringing their signature blend of slapstick and sword-and-sandal storytelling to bear.
