Groo the Wanderer

I used to like this comic in the late 80's/ early 90's. I was looking for my old issues of it, I fell off a chair in the process. But, it looks like I must have thrown them out, and kept crappy old issues of the Avengers, X-Factor and Excalibur instead! Woe :(

So, anyway, Groo: classic or dud?

Perfect for middle-school/early high school dorks like myself. After that I'm not sure, I'd have to reread an issue or two.

Classic! Always really funny. He's a really great cartoonist.

And I once interviewed Sergio Aragones at the San Diego comic con, in the artists-sketching area. In the same time as the hack two yards away drew Batman's head, and while answering my questions, Sergio drew Groo fighting a dragon, with a crowd scene in the background, with half a dozen of the characters cracking gags, in full colour. I've never seen anyone remotely as fast. He was also one of the loveliest, most charming people I've ever met. And he talks exactly like in the comic. I should try to find the letter he sent me afterwards, with a 'quick sketch' at the foot of it. I'm sure I still have it somewhere.

I knew a girl with the last name of Groo.

I remember Groo as being pretty funny, but maybe a bit tiresome if you read too much of it.

The one with the apples and the pigs was good, though.

It's my all-time favorite comic. I have most of them all the way to the 120s and some of the non-epic ones (darkhorse ones)

whoa, I just found out (from his bio) that he also learned pantomime under the direction of Alexandro Jodorowsky.
