Groo gets involved in his usual mayhem and manages to displace his swords several times - Ruferto exercises in a little hero worship and fantasy, and like a faithful dog that's smarter than his master he manages to haul Groo out of the pit's he digs for himself. Groo get's involved in a scheme to "liberate" the most valuable sapphire in the world; the Minstrel, Arcadio the warrior, Arba and Dakarba, sister Grooella, the Sage and more fools who've never learned to keep away from Groo get involved in machinations. Groo attempts more gainful employment and serving as a village protector he manages to bring the village to destitution. The very last page introduces none other than Chakal - the warrior gal Groo has heart-eyes for!

Note: the printing quality is generally okay to very good for the series, but this is generally a collection for Groo fans and comic book fans. The binding on some of my copies is broken (these are soft backs) and the print is now and then not the greatest. As a fan, I bought every collection I could, and enjoy them despite this! Not though for long-term pristine collectors though.

Groo has a few problems with speaking, let alone having the skills to enable reading comprehension. A library? You jest. More stories here, including one where Rufferto is daydreaming, and you see how he would like things to be.

Of course, they aren't, and he has to get Groo out of trouble yet again. All the usual suspects are here, the Sage, Arcadio, etc.

Groo is such a "Goofy" type character along with his side kick dog makes for hilarious stories. Recommend this purely entertainment story line for Jr. High level audience.
