Groo: Death & Taxes by Sergio Aragones 111 pp.
In this graphic novel, Groo the Barbarian decides to give up slaughtering people because everyone is afraid of him. All the kingdoms that he had invaded instituted taxes to raise armies to protect them from Groo. Now that he no longer was a threat the kingdoms begin declaring war on each other to keep their economies going and to justify continuing to collect the taxes. Social commentary in comic form. I liked it well enough to request a couple other Groo titles.
