Groo

The Groo Nursery by Serio Aragones  92 pp.

This is the second graphic novel about Groo the Barbarian I've read. There are four separate stories in this one each with a moral at the end. Groo is not very bright, in fact, his dog is the smarter of the duo. His efforts to 'help' usually turn out disastrous and most people fear him because of the mayhem that occurs when he is around. My favorite was "The Island of Felicidad" where Groo lands on a peaceful island where life is essentially perfect and his innocent 'helping' results in environmental, economic, and social destruction. I have another Groo volume waiting in the wings.
