Sergio Aragonés' Groo: Death & Taxes

In this 2001–2002 miniseries from Dark Horse, the eternally bumbling barbarian Groo and his faithful dog Rufferto stumble into a scheme involving the unlikeliest of villains: tax collectors. Written by Mark Evanier and Sergio Aragonés, with Aragonés providing his signature scratchy, comedic art, the four-issue story sends Groo on a chaotic quest through a kingdom where the Minstrel and the Sage offer their usual dubious guidance. It's a sharp, humorous take on bureaucracy and greed, showcasing the slapstick and satirical heart that defines Groo's long-running legacy.
