* The Sage's dog: During the Marvel / Epic run of Groo, the question of what the Sage named his dog became one of the most frequently asked questions in the comic's letters page.

Eventually, after a storyline in which the Sage's dog had been kidnapped and Groo aided him in recovering the dog, the " secret " was revealed in a throw-away moment, with Groo asking in a " by-the-way " manner what the dog's name was, and the Sage replying with the nondescript name, " Mulch " ( in itself a reference to another running gag in the Marvel / Epic run, see above ).

It should be noted that when Groo was with Pacific, he was not portrayed as a bumbling idiot like was in future issues starting with Epic line.

Groo the Wanderer is a fantasy / comedy comic book series written and drawn by Sergio Aragonés, rewritten, coplotted and edited by Mark Evanier, lettered by Stan Sakai, and colored by Tom Luth.

After the 1984 collapse of Pacific, many of its creator-owned publications moved to Eclipse Comics: Bruce Jones ' Twisted Tales, Alien Worlds, and Somerset Holmes ; Dave Stevens ' Rocketeer Special and a one-shot of Mark Evanier / Sergio Aragones ' Groo the Wanderer.

Groo ( the epithet " the Wanderer " is informal and rarely mentioned within the stories ) first appeared as a parody of the brutal sword & sorcery heroes who were popular at the time of his creation in the 1970s, especially Conan the Barbarian as presented in Marvel Comics.

In 1994, with Marvel facing financial difficulties, the title switched to Image Comics and was retitled Groo.

This resulted in the longest run of Groo the Wanderer with 120 issues.

McKennitt is compared to Enya, but McKennitt's music is more grounded in traditional and classical invocations, using literary works as sources of lyrics and springboards for interpretation such as " The Lady of Shalott " by Lord Tennyson, " Prospero's Speech " ( the final soliloquy in William Shakespeare's The Tempest ), " Snow " by Archibald Lampman, " Dark Night of the Soul " by St. John of the Cross, Dante's Inferno, William Blake's " Lullaby ", Yeats ' " The Stolen Child ", " The English Ladye and the Knight " by Sir Walter Scott and " The Highwayman " by Alfred Noyes.

Warren ( going by both " Death " and " Dark Angel " at this point in time ) ultimately settles on " Archangel " as his new codename as he finally rejoins X-Factor during the events of Inferno.

According to the character Badamon, Hariel is said to be the ' last wearer of the armor of Inferno ' and that he was both Dark Warlord and Ronin Warrior.

The titles of the released novels are, Island of Doom, Dark Destiny, Power Play, Legacy of Evil, Inferno, City of the Lost, Prisoners of the Pit, Downfall, Shadows in the Sky, Swamp of Secrets, and The Final Battle
