4.0 out of 5 stars Groo Intelligent? Somethings wrong here..., November 2, 2002

This review is from: Groo: Most Intelligent Man in the World (Paperback)

Groo the Most Intelligent Man on Earth

The wandering Minstrel encounters one of the most bizarre things in the world: a region of people who hail Groo as the most intelligent person they've ever met. Knowing they've never met Groo if they believe that, he get's himself thrown into jail for hearsay. Arba and Dakarba the sorceresses get involved to find the miracle of Groo's intelligence and the sage is enlisted and here comes the scheming duo Pal and Drumm. In the end Groo saves the day, or did he? Was he or was he not the most intelligent man ever? Included are a few short takes featuring Ruferto.

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.

This review is from: Groo: Most Intelligent Man in the World (Paperback)

Check out that title. Those guys, Aragones and Evanier, pretty funny eh? Like that would ever happen. He must be sick, or taken over, or replaced , or something, because he starts sounding like his brain must be functioning.

This draws anybody and everybody that Groo has beaten up, destroyed, maimed or stressed in the past to come and find out what the hell is going on.

This review is from: Groo: Most Intelligent Man in the World (Paperback)

When Sergio took Groo from Marvel Comics. He went to Image Comics and now He is tring to destroy Dark Horse Comics by having them print Groo. In this re-print of 4 issues of Groo, we find are brainless barbarian friend smart and full of intelligence? Can it be Groo is now up to par with the rest of humanity? But as with Groo, things change and then go back to the way they were. To read Groo is to love Groo.
