Graphic Novel of the Week for August 24: Groo – Hell on Earth
Groo: Hell on Earth by Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier
Dear sweet Groo is a truly misunderstand graphic novel character. He is written by Mark Evanier and Sergio Aragones.
He is kind of like the three stooges of dimwitted Barbarians and he has been facing adventure after adventure (well kind of messing things up as well) for over 30 years now.
This latest instalment has Groo and his faithful dog Rufferto facing a new kind of enemy: Global Warming. Groo spends his time in the novel trying to come up with ways to educate the people about the dangers of global warming and how they can make changes in their lives in order to help stop it.
Along the way Groo meets with his adviser the Sage and he has many mishaps and adventures that keep the reader laughing as they go. Groo's quest even has him creating an army in an attempt to stop the enemy that is global warming.
All in all Groo is a delightful and funny read that should entertain those who already are familiar with him and should help to acquaint some new people to his brand of attempting to save the world.

The front cover of Groo and the story of barbarians is reminding me of the French comics, Asterix. Asterix’s friend, Obelix also has a little doggy named Dogmatix, who help them in their adventures in long-ago Europe. I like how both of these comics are simply funny, but have underlying serious issues…that we can choose to ignore ;P
