Graphic SF Reader

If you could give someone the power to do or create anything they want, who would you give it to last? Most people who really wanted it, desperate power-seekers, politicians, media barons, Cliff Richard, etc. Oh yeah, and Groo would be just before them on last to get this power. It would have been better if the evil wizard had this magic amulet of power (well, or a Green Lantern), but with Groo, it is certainly entertaining.

Groo causing devestation as usual

Groo InfernoIn this collection there's a magic amulet that grants every wish which falls into the hands of Groo the Barbarian - OH MY GOD! From there mayhem erupts as various parties strive to gain control of the amulet or at best get it out of Groo's hands into anyone else's hands (anyone would be better than Groo!). As the introductory episode shows - Groo is the worse thing on earth to get involved with, especially when you confuse him! Included are the sorceresses Abra and Kadabra - oh, I mean Arba and Dakarba- , the sage and his dog with no name, the Minstrel, Arcadio the best warrior on earth, and assorted fools who've never learned that the best way to get anything out of Groo is to RUN AS FAR AWAY FROM HIM AS YOU CAN!Note: the printing quality is generally okay to very good for the series, but this is generally a collection for Groo fans and comic book fans. The binding on some of my copies is broken (these are soft backs) and the print is now and then not the greatest. As a fan, I bought every collection I could, and enjoy them despite this! Not though for long-term pristine collectors though.

Great for the collector

I have collected Groo comics since I was a kid, and this reprint of Groo the wanderer numbers 33 through 36. Not some of my favorite Groo tales but very funny. I did like "The Amulet", wich is in 2 parts and continued from Groo number 26 wich would be in "The Groo Garden".
