By the way.......

Didja know Sergio Aragones used to be a stunt double for actress Irish McCalla. She used to play Sheena the She-Devil and Sergio was one of her stunt doubles!

This is Irish McCalla in Sheena get-up:

And this is Sergio Aragones:






He was her stunt double. Think about that for a minute.

Sergio Aragones' Groo the Wanderer

I love this comic book. I remember feeling sad and angry when Groo was cancelled after just 132 issues (120 issues with Marvel, 12 with Image). 132 issues! "What is wrong with you comic book geeks, huh?", I remember ranting. "X-Force more interesting to you?" Damn &*(%#$!!.

Actually, Groo first had an eight issue run over at Pacifics Comics but I never read those so they don't count. Groo is basically an idiot who is master of the sword-fu. You want to get rid of some toughs? Just promise Groo some cheese dip and point him at the right direction. Then sit back and wait for the dust to settle. Sorted. Groo does what Groo does best. Forget Conan. That guy asks too many questions. You ever see Conan go all Deathstroke like what Groo is doing on that cover right there? Groo only needs one eye to deliver some sweet, sweet hacking and slashing. One eye, folks.

I actually started reading this title with #28 and went back to find some back issues but only found #1 which was cool enough but there's still that 26 issue gap that is missing from my life. This guy needs to have his books collected in an Omnibus. I'll buy it. In triplicate.

Sergio Aragones' GROO the Wanderer series. Dem's Good Readin'.
