Sergio Aragones may be the most honored cartoonist working today, having won every major award in the field, including the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award, and the Will Eisner Hall of Fame Award. Sergio is best-known for his Marginal Thinking cartoons printed in the margins of MAD magazine. In 1982 Sergio teamed with Mark Evanier to create Groo the Wanderer, an unveiled parody of Conan.

As the bird-brained wanderer Groo and his loyal mutt Rufferto crisscross the countryside, they encounter various acquaintances from years past--the hapless seaman Captain Ahax; the sinister witches Arba and Dakarba; the pompous Arcadio the Hero; and Groo's own sweet Granny Groo, who raised from a tot and would never try to profit from him! What will ensue from all these chance meetings? With Groo, the only possible result is chaos! The award-winning team of Sergio Aragones and Mark Evanier are joined by Tom Luth on colors and Stan Sakai on letters! This volume collects issues #1 - #4 of the Dark Horse Friends and Foes series.

Sergio Aragones is the most honored cartoonist alive, having won every major award in the field, including the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award, and the Will Eisner Hall of Fame Award. Sergio's first contribution -- ""A Mad Look at the U.S. Space Effort"" -- appeared in Mad #76, cover-dated January of 1963. For that same issue, he also contributed the cover gag (the first of many) and his first ""Marginal Thinking"" cartoons to be printed in the magazine's margins. He has since appeared in every issue of Mad except for one and has done thousands of his unique pantomime cartoons. He also produced 16 best-selling original Mad paperback books. Sergio teamed with wordsmith Mark Evanier to bring forth the adventures of Groo the Wanderer. Groo quickly became one of the longest-running ""creator-owned"" comic book properties, outlasting many of the companies that published it. Sergio and Mark have also produced other comics, including Fanboy, Boogeyman, Magnor, Blair Witch? and an acclaimed series in which together, they trash famous characters- Sergio Aragones Massacres Marvel, Sergio Aragones Destroys DC, and Sergio Aragones Stomps Star Wars. For their comic book work, they have received multiple Eisner awards. The author lives in Ojai, CA..
