So it’s not a ‘Book Review’ it’s a comicbook review. But it’s not just a comicbook review, it’s a funniest-comicbook-ever-printed review. So there. Marc Evanier is the writer, and just the poems he writes before every episode are enough to make me…and I know people say this all the time, but the freakin’ poems make me laugh out loud. Then things only get worse. Sergio Aragones, the artist, is the absolute master. Groo is just plain funny. Funny beyond my ability to even describe. Aragones and evanier are the greatest comic duo since… well, they’re just the greatest. Do yourself a favor and grab a copy of Groo The Wanderer. Okay, I’m outta here for some cheese dip

I have always been an argones fan. Did you know he is the one who puts all those freekin little cartoons in the margins of Mad?
Speaking of comic books, see if you can find any of the "Buck Godot, Zapgun for Hire" comics. I am sure you'd love these. The artist is one of my absolute favorites in the comic book industry, Phil Phoglio. Check it out if you can find them. Unfortunately, I had to sell off all my comic books a few years ago. I thoguth I put these, and some other favorites aside, but have not seen them in years :( Of course, they could be in that compost pile I call a garage...
