The new regular writing team makes their debut on Will Eisner’s best-known creation, and they do so in good company. Groo creators Sergio Aragones and Mark Evanier are joined by celebrated artist Mike Ploog (Abadazad, Stardust Kid) for the first of his two issues of whimsical crimefighting and take-us-to-school storytelling. For anyone who wants to learn what can be done with the medium, look no further. Without aping Eisner, Ploog pays homage to the Spirit’s creator while going his own way with the layout, design and executtion of the script.
