Dark Horse Comics presents Groo: Min
strel Melodies, a new miniseries by Eisner Award-winning creators Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier. Written by Aragonés and Evanier, illustrated by Aragonés, lettered by Stan Sakai, and colored by Carrie Strachan, this new series follows the Groo-verse’s hapless wandering minstrel and his smart daughter, Kayli.
Traveling from town to town, the minstrel and Kayli sing tales of Groo wherever they go, bringing laughter, joy, and lessons to the townsfolk…and hopefully some kopins to their pockets! Groo’s foolishness is endless, so there will be four issues of entertaining stories that both celebrate Groo’s unique idiocy and warn others of his deadly deeds.
Groo: Minstrel Melodies #1 (of 4) will be available in comic shops on September 4, 2024. It is now available to preorder from your local comic shop for $4.99.
