About this Collection

This collection brings together the complete run of Sergio Aragonés's 1999 miniseries, in which the bumbling barbarian Groo and his faithful dog Rufferto find themselves at the center of a canine-themed adventure. The story involves a mysterious book that gives dogs the power of speech, leading to chaos and humor as Groo's usual ineptitude collides with talking animals. Aragonés's signature detailed artwork and Mark Evanier's witty script deliver the classic slapstick and satire fans expect from the series.

In "Rufferto," Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier deliver a delightfully absurd tale as Groo stumbles into an unexpected quest after a royal dog goes missing. When the king offers a reward for the return of his prized pet, Groo unwittingly becomes the dog’s temporary guardian—only to realize the true value of his new companion after the fact. With Aragonés handling all interior art and inks, and Stan Sakai’s crisp lettering bringing the chaos to life, this 1999 Dark Horse gem is a must-read for fans of the series’ signature slapstick wit.
