4.0 out of 5 stars Love and Mayhem, November 2, 2002

By	Joe (USA) - See all my reviews

Groo the Barbarian's lady love Chakaal features in these episodes where despite her attempts to travel to the furthest place on earth to get away from him he's tracked her down. Chakaal is in fine form, defeating raiding female warriors from the sea. Groo is also in fine form, spoiling half her plans and coming up with a plan to save a village that works except the village doesn't need saving when he springs it - too late! Together they free a village of the terror of a resident giant spider and investigate a dragon hatchery scam. Chakaal manages almost with sentimental regret to get away from him in the end - or does she?

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.

Groo and Chakaal. Well, Groo wants it to be Groo and Chakaal. Chakaal is a woman that is pretty handy with the pigstickers herself, and, her brain actually works. There is no chance that she would ever be in love with Groo. Or, at least you would hope so. A besotted brainless cheese dipping barbarian is pretty funny though.
