Nat Gertler of About Comics, which specialises in excavating comic book, cartoon and cultural elements of the twentieth century, has turned to attention to the work of Sergio Aragonés – and some of his seemingly forgotten risque cartoons from decades past. Gertler writes, Beloved cartoonist Sergio Aragonés, back in his early years of doing cartoons […]
One of my favourite cartoonists, from Outrageous Tales Of The Old Testament to The Goons to Firkin The Cat, Hunt Emerson was announced the winner of the 2018 Sergio Aragonés International Award for Excellence in Comic Art at Lakes International Comic Art Festival this weekend. Hunt, who has a famous litany of adult comics but also draws […]

So I will get to the question that everyone is asking, did Groo colorist Tom Luth attend the panel. The answer, sadly is no, but that didn't stop a full room of people from having grand old time listening to Groo The Wanderer artist Sergio Aragones, writer Mark Evanier, and letterer Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo) […]
Dark Horse has sent as an exclusive advance preview of Sergio Aragones's newest issue of the iconic warrior. Groo: Play of the Gods #3 includes lands full of gold, pirates who want the gold, and clergymen who are willing to use torture to convert people to their beliefs — like Europe used to be. Oh, […]
With Captain Ahax, Taranto, the Iberzan clergy of Diothos, and the hidden away Groo and Rufferto on a ship set for Ahax's newly discovered land, things are looking on track. Ahax and Taranto are going to get their gold, and the clergymen will have plenty of new people to convert. Things couldn't possibly go wrong […]
Bleeding Cool's Christine Marquet reports from The Mark, Sergio, Stan, and Tom Show Panel: This Thursday afternoon,The Mark, Sergio, Stan, and Tom Show panel took place at San Diego Comic-Con 2017. From Sergio's flavorful reminiscing of life early in his career to Mark's spilling his water (which needed attention before the conversation could continue), the trio shared a warm […]
Over the years there have been certain panels that I try to see whenever they happen. Whether at SDCC or Wondercon. The Mark, Sergio, and Stan Panel falls firmly into that category. I must have seen some iteration of this panel at least 6-7 times over the years. Why you ask. Well, I'll tell you. […]

By Joshua Stone The annual Quick Draw panel at SDCC is always one of my favorites, and that is for two reasons – Sergio Aragones and Mark Evanier. Aragones can draw anything and make it funny and have it done faster than you can blink. He and Evanier's banter is always fun and it is […]
I am at San Diego Comic Con at one of my favourite regular panels, The Sergio And Mark Show. And it is to be its last. Cue shock and horror from those who have been here for many, many years. In fact, I don't think some of us actually leave the room from year to […]
Sergio Aragones is the delight of any convention he attends, and the fact that the comic Groo is still running, probably the first comic book I ever read, is even more delightful to me. There is quite simply nothing like it that lampoons so effectively whatever aspect of human life strikes Sergio's fancy at any […]

It does well to reinforce the occult/mystery themes that make up a significant part of Dark Horse's slate that you'll […]

And this is his Marvel cover for Star Wars #2, replacing the Berkeley Breathed cover, and delayed a few weeks as a result, from ComicBook.com In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They may […]
We told you that Berkeley Breathed was, sadly, no longer lined up to draw the "Breathed Variant" cover of Star Wars #2. Well, replacing him it seems, is one Sergio Aragonés. Sergio has a proud history drawing Star Wars, offically… …and unofficially. Je Suis Sergio.
