Origin:
Groo the Wanderer is a parody of "brutal sword and sorcery heroes", which were very popular in the 70's (when he was created).

Groo the Wanderer was written and drawn by Sergio Aragonés (who contributed to MAD magazine). It has been published by multiple companies: Pacific Comics, Eclipse Comics (which only published one issue), Marvel Comics under the Epic imprint and Dark Horse Comics (which recently reprinted the first issue of Groo like Usagi Yojimbo for one dollar).

Groo is very stupid with a noticeably large nose. His stupidity and ignorance causes him to misunderstand what is going on around him (which usually leads him into trouble). He loves fighting so much, he will often jump head on into battle, without knowing what he is fighting for. Despite this, he is also fairly peaceful. He has extreme bad luck, to the point that stepping on a ship will sink it. He has become so widely known that Groo's approaching can cause massive chaos. The only thing he is good at is using his swords. He has been seen slaying entire armies with nothing but his blades that seem to be katanas. Groo will often charge into battle while saying, "Now Groo does what Groo do best!" Ironically, he is peaceable and honest (when he isn't enjoying a good fight, that is).

The creators:

Groo is initially plotted and drawn by Sergio Aragonés, and Mark Evanier then writes the dialog.[3] Sakai then does the lettering, after which Aragonés does the final artwork, including the word balloons.[citation needed] Finally, Luth does the coloring.

Evanier also answers the letters page, something he takes special pride in, since the practice in mainstream comics is to pass this task off to low-level assistants, something he didn't know when his own teenage fan letters were published.[citation needed] He claims that no one knows what he does, and that he doesn't get paid.[citation needed] His official credit, during the Marvel/Epic run, was usually a ludicrously polysyllabic title that changed every issue.

Caricatures of Aragonés, Evanier, Sakai, and Luth often appear as background characters within the stories, sometimes with family members. Evanier and Sakai are also the role models for the characters Weaver and Scribe.Rufferto was based on Aragonés' own dog named Rufferto, who is actually more mottled than spotted.
