	Encyclopedia topic: Groo the Wanderer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Groo was the first widely successful creator-owned comics, one of the few successful humorous comic books (outside Archie Comics (additional info and facts about Archie Comics)), and one of the longest running collaborations in comic book history.
		Groo the Wanderer is a Dark Ages (The period of history between classical antiquity and the Italian Renaissance) era large-nosed buffoon (A person who amuses others by ridiculous behavior) who constantly misunderstands his surroundings, and, despite his generally good intentions, causes mass destruction wherever he goes.
		Groo is initially plotted, roughly written (it has been said that Aragonés does to English, his third language, what Picasso (Prolific and influential Spanish artist who lived in France (1881-1973)) did to faces), and roughly drawn by Aragonés, after consulting with Evanier.

	The History of Groo
		I promise not to do this often but, since Groo the Wanderer is debuting in a new #1 from a new publisher this month, it seems apropos to reflect on my life with the little nimrod.
		Groo was published by Marvel/Epic for ten years and one hundred and twenty issues, plus two graphic novels, seven trade paperbacks and a six-issue series that reprinted the pre-Epic Groo tales.
		Groo, I am delighted to report has outlived a lot of books that we were told in 1982 were "vastly more commercial." The book has built up a steady following and I have never, ever in ten-plus years, heard of a dealer getting "stuck" with a backroom full of issues no one wanted to buy.

	Sergio Aragones (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Groo the Wanderer first appeared in an early, alternative comic book, Destroyer Duck, as a parody of Conan the Barbarian.
		What distinguishes the two characters is that Groo is a parody, is even more stupid than Conan, and is unbeatable in hand-to-hand combat.
		The simplicity of each character and of Aragones' backgrounds is belied by the incredible detail, a veritable doodle explosion, lavished on many panoramic scenes in his stories.

	Usagi Yojimbo Dojo - FAQ: Questions about Groo
		Groo the comic has been known for skirting deadlines.
		In the first issue of Groo, or maybe the first two issues, you can see how the lettering changes every few pages, and that's because I was testing out new lettering pens and it wasn't until about the third or fourth issue that I found a pen that I liked.
		What he draws is not just a drawing of Groo standing there, it's a gag in that thirty seconds that he took to draw that picture he would do, he not only had to draw it physically but also to think of a great concept, a gag.

	Groo: the Card Game Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		You could, for example, spend one Groo Head and play a “Minor Problem” card, causing Groo to destroy one building in his town, or spend two Groo Heads for Groo to destroy the entire army at his current location.
		Groo’s price is a bit steep: the basic game plus the expansion (which is almost required to play) cost nearly $25.
		Groo features clever mechanics, is easy to teach, and is portable enough to be brought anywhere - an equation that adds up to lots of fun & frequent play.

	Groo the Game!
		Groo the Game - Presented by the SOCAMAG (which I do not endorse, but the groo page is still good)
		There is a basic set, which includes a deck, rules, and 7 do-it-yourself dice, meaning that they are blank dice and you put stickers on the dice.
		Remember, Groo is NOT a CCG like Magic, so you are not missing any essential or rare cards in your game.

		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.
		Making another accidental stand against tyranny, Groo becomes separated from Rufferto, and an entire city is made to suffer.
		Take four vintage Groo tales...bury them lovingly in the ground...add water and plenty of mulch...and what will blossom will be the latest Groo collection, featuring the creative flowering of Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier.

		Groo is a wandering fighter for hire, a mercenary of sorts, with one small problem.
		With out them, Groo would be surely dead, for his favorite thing to do is to rush blindly into a fray without considering who is fighting, who is winning, why they are fighting, or which side he shouldn't kill (this seem very similar to many people who play quake).
		Rufferto at first is useless to Groo because of his royal upbringing and lack of survival skills, then he starts to learn how to fight.

	Groo the Wanderer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		In spite of this, and the fact that he tends to bring disasterously bad luck to any place he stops for more than a few seconds (comic companies included it seems), Groo manages to survive because he is an excellent fighter, able to take on entire armies and emerge without a scratch.
		Groo is generally accompanied by Rufferto, his loyal and brave dog.
		The original colorist was Gordeon Kent, but for the bulk of Groo's run this job has been carried out by Tom Luth, who took over during Groo's run for Pacific.

	Pyramid: Archangel's Groo: The Card Game (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		If you don't know, I don't have space to explain the wonderful zaniness that is Groo the Wanderer, star of a long-running comic book of the same name.
		Groo is temporarily on hiatus now, but there have been over 140 issues over the last dozen years, so go check out some back issues at a comic store.
		On the plus side, the artwork is wonderful, the rules simple and clear, the replay value high, all your favorite Groo characters are there (except Bunta), there are enough special effects cards to keep the game exciting, and it's a blast to play - a mix of skill, luck and a lot of laughs.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Groo the Wanderer
		Groo is the very epitome of the barbarian too stupid to know which way is up, yet superb in battle against any odds.
		Since then, Groo series have been published by Image (Spawn) and Dark Horse Comics (The Mask), but his many fans continue to seek him out no matter who happens to be his publisher du jour.
		But the team still manages to squeeze an occasional mini-series or graphic novel into their schedule, so we can be sure that Groo will continue doing what Groo does best — entertaining his audience with hilarious barbarian adventures — for a long time to come.

	The Groo Jamboree Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		You see, even though the main character, Groo, is dimmer than his dog, that doesn't mean the stories themselves are stupid.
		The stories are straightforward, and often funny, although not side-splittingly so (I do think the earlier ones were funnier, however) and aren't going to keep you awake at night, even though they often raise a diverse range of serious issues.
		The only problem that I have with these collected Groo editions is that they don't reprint the letters pages, which in my opinion, were the funniest, in any comic ever.

	Sergio Aragonés - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sergio Aragonés Domenech (born 1937) is a cartoonist and writer.
		In the 1980s he created the humorous barbarian comic book Groo the Wanderer (so named because he sought a name which meant nothing in any language) with Mark Evanier.
		The book was initially published by Pacific Comics, then Marvel Comics under their Epic imprint, then Image Comics and currently Dark Horse Comics.

	Groo the Wanderer
		It's the story of a barbarian who is as dangerous as a stampede of cattle...and almost as smart.
		How it works now is that every so often, we do a four-issue mini-series of his exploits and, when we're not doing one of those, we do something else for Dark Horse.
		There's a Groo Mailing List — a bunch of devout readers who keep in touch via mass e-mail, discussing the comic and getting the latest Groo News (I'm a participant).

	Sergio Aragones's Groo the Wanderer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Groo is without question my favorite comic book character.
		While I don't have every last appearance of Groo, I do have every comic and graphic novel that is devoted entirely to him.
		I don't look especially like Groo, though people have called me Groo before (to my face) and lived.

	Groo: The Game
		On the plus side, the artwork is wonderful, the rules simple and largely clear, the replay value high, most of your favorite Groo characters are included, there are enough special effects cards to keep the game exciting, and it's a blast to play - a mix of skill, luck and a lot of laughs.
		So the Groo card is a hot potatoe (spelling appropriate to Groo's mentality level) which can wreak havoc to whatever town he visits.
		When Groo is between the two towns, Groo Effect cards can be played by either player, to affect your opponent.

	Ambient Irony: Groo and Smoo
		Wandering around Kinokuniya the other day I discovered that they had in stock both Sergio Aragones' Groo the Wanderer and Mark Crilley's Akiko on the Planet Smoo.
		I have a fair collection of Groo, but I've been looking for Akiko for a while now.
		On the Groo side of things, I picked up The Most Intelligent Man in the World and Groo and Rufferto.

	Nuclear Beef: Groo Vs. Katrina
		'The Village Of Miggledy', Groo The Wanderer Series 2, #37, published by Epic Comics in 1988.
		For those who don't know, Groo is a barbarian whose stupidity is matched only by his love of slaying people in combat.
		Groo is so reknowned for destroying whatever town he wanders into that the people of the town of Miggledy freak out when they hear he's coming.

		In the 23 years Groo has been around, we have been approached over and over with offers but never with one we felt we could accept.
		There were a couple that fell apart because the producers were having internal problems...and in one case, a key player in the deal died suddenly, ending what could have been a very interesting adaptation.
