Over on his blog, Mark Evanier talks about how Groo the Wanderer, everyone’s favorite brain-dead barbarian, will celebrate his 25th anniversary this year with a special and a new mini-series from Dark Horse:

People keep asking me when there will be more Groo. I’m not sure if they’re asking because they want to race to their local comic shop then or steer clear but whatever their motives, they ask. For a long time, I haven’t had a real answer for them because my collaborator, Sergio Aragonés was busy with whatever he does to earn a living (I have no idea) and I was swamped with whatever it is I do (likewise). But now I have something to tell the folks who ask.

There will be more Groo on August 1. That’s the release date for The Groo 25th Anniversary Special, the cover of which looks something like the above.

The first issue of Groo: Hell on Earth, a four-issue mini-series, will follow in September. For more on Groo, Evanier has some behind-the-scenes/historical info on his site.
