On page 25 of book one Usagi sees a human barbarian and thinks "Ugly barbarian" while the barbarian thinks "Stupid Samurai."

Is he from another series?

Thats Groo created by Sergio Aragonés

I KNEW IT!

But I haven't read much Groo so I wasn't sure. The library I was at didn't have Groo on the shelves.

I have every issue of Groo and love them very much. Of course Sergio's work is always funny and he (as well as Stan Sakai) are the 2 comic creators that I most want to meet and hopefully get a sketch from. There is a book coming out called the Groo Omnibus that collects the earliest adventures of the idiotic barbarian called Groo. Do yourself a favor and pick it up.

Groo was my favorite comic back in the day. I had every issue from 1-87 or so. I was really dissapointed when they stopped putting it out as an ongoing. I just realized that Sergio is 71 years old though so the fact that he is still doing comics at all is very impressive

Oops! It's actually called The Groo Treasury vol.1 and the cover price is $24.95 which is deal.
