The Groo Chronicles #3

Sergio Aragonés' wandering swordsman Groo stands front and center here, arms crossed and sword at the ready, his trademark scowl firmly in place — while an enormously detailed crowd of medieval townsfolk, warriors, and assorted unfortunates fills every inch of the background in Aragonés' wonderfully dense style. This third volume of The Groo Chronicles continues Marvel's 1989 collection of the bumbling barbarian's misadventures, with "The Turn of the Wheel" promising the kind of cheerful chaos that follows Groo wherever he roams. With Aragonés handling both pencils and inks on the cover, and the creative team of Evanier, Luth, and Sakai rounding out the interior, this is a thoroughly satisfying package for fans of sharp cartooning and sharper comedy.
