Everyone needs someone to leve them. Groo has (a) his loyal dog, Rufferto, whose first appearances are included in this handsome paperback, and (b) comics fans everywhere who appreciate hilirous stories about the stupidest barbarian to ever swing a sword. At last report, the second group outnumbered the first. But just barely. #29 July 1987 Rufferto #30 August 1987 Rufferto II #31 September 1987 The Arms Deal #32 October 1987 The Bankers of Avara

Critics agree that Groo is the greatest comic book ever done and that the stories are hilariously funny, brilliantly insightful and a miracle cure for hair loss, gingivitis and 14 common varieties of athlete's foot. Yes, it's obvious that Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier can do anything... except write an honest back cover blurb. #33 November 1987 The Pirates of Salgari #34 December 1987 The Amulet #35 January 1988 Wishes #36 February 1988 Rhyme nor Reason

The three most inevitable things in the world are death, taxes, and another Groo collection from Dark Horse. This one is about the other two: Groo and his loyal pooch Rufferto encounter a king who is forever raising the cost of living and an undertaker who drives up the cost of dying. So the kingdom goes to war against ... well, they're not exactly sure of that part yet. But they're definitely going to war. What a time for Groo to be trapped in his solemn vow not to kill! And if you think that makes him any less dangerous, you don't know Groo. He's even worse ... as the savage warrior, Odoman the Invincible, finds out the hard way. The Eisner Award winning team of Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier do it again ... and if you're thinking that "it" involves anything other than bringing you some of the best adventures of the world's stupidest barbarian, you'd probably be wrong!

One is a cross-hatched Hyborian from the unforgiving steppes of Cimmeria. The other is a big-nosed buffoon from a land of cartoony chaos. Only in the addled brain of Sergio Aragones could these two mismatched warriors ever cross swords! Thomas Yeates lends his able pen to Mark Evanier's story of worlds colliding, as the indomitable barbarian Conan meets the insufferable birdbrain Groo. An epic crossover centuries in the making! Twice as much brawn as brains! Fantasy comics will never be the same! Collects #1 - #4 of the Dark Horse miniseries.
