Dark Horse Comics presents Groo: Min\"\"<\/a>strel Melodies, a new miniseries by Eisner Award-winning creators Sergio Aragon\u00e9s and Mark Evanier. Written by Aragon\u00e9s and Evanier, illustrated by Aragon\u00e9s, lettered by Stan Sakai, and colored by Carrie Strachan, this new series follows the Groo-verse\u2019s hapless wandering minstrel and his smart daughter, Kayli.<\/p>\n

Traveling from town to town, the minstrel and Kayli sing tales of Groo wherever they go, bringing laughter, joy, and lessons to the townsfolk\u2026and hopefully some kopins to their pockets! Groo\u2019s foolishness is endless, so there will be four issues of entertaining stories that both celebrate Groo\u2019s unique idiocy and warn others of his deadly deeds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Praise for Groo:<\/p>\n

\u201cMark and Sergio have upped the ante for the idiot barbarian, taking him to a new level (literally) and proving that some things never change. Top-notch stuff!\u201d\u2014Major Spoilers<\/p>\n

\u201cThank heaven for Sergio Aragon\u00e9s’s Groo and the continuing adventures of this clueless character. Funny and thoughtful all ages reading that will have you heaping praises on each contributor.\u201d\u2014 SciFi Pulse<\/p>\n

\u201cPlenty of comedy, great story and art, and a fantastic story for all ages. I can never not recommend Groo, and I don’t intend to start now.\u201d\u2014Outright Geekery<\/p>\n

\u201cGroo is a beloved and wonderful character and Sergio\u2019s work bringing his adventures to life over the years will never stop being excellent.\u201d \u2013PopCult HQ<\/p>\n

\u201cGroo\u2019s as good as it\u2019s ever been.\u201d\u2014Slings and Arrows<\/p>\n
