Groo Kingdom

Here we meet sister Grooella and Granny Groo, the proof that Groo's nature is inherited and that the thing worse than a bone-head barbarian warrior whom any intelligent creature flees from is an fat, old gypsy lady who uses him in various scams. Groo falls into her schemes, and after several tart little bilking jobs, he get's married and botches another marriage scam. Fed up, Granny sells him to a slave trader - who would never have bought him if he'd known who he was buying. Which becomes apparent eventually. Groo then decides to get some new clothes and as everyone knows calamity results. Groo get's his bare pink bottom spanked which caused some censors fits! (Oh, the horror of Groo's pink bottom on display!) 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 has relatives? The mind boggles in sheer, complete and utter disbelief. No matter who you are, this fact is sure to be horrifying. Even worse, there are multiple generations still alive. Someone gets the bright idea to try and make more generations of Groo types, and organises a marriage.
Scary.

This collection has Groo with his GrannyGroo. Old Granny is a scam artist and is way smarter than Groo. She has him involved with many of her plans and they all go bad (was anything else expected?). Still, the Groo crew makes it all funny with the same jokes they been using for years. Groo gets in a fray and people run away.
