The gods did not bless Groo with brains, only with the ability to battle. Now, they themselves are in conflict over the spirit and future of mankind . . . and it is Groo who becomes the pawn (unwitting, of course) in their war. If the future of humanity depends on the wanderer--who barely qualifies--we're all in a lot of trouble. This volume collects Groo: Fray of the Gods #1-#4, from the Harvey and Eisner Award winning team of Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier, with Tom Luth coloring and Stan Sakai on the lettering pen.
