Sergio Aragonés Domenech ( born 6 September 1937, Sant Mateu, Castellón, Spain ) is a cartoonist and writer best known for his contributions to Mad Magazine and creator of the comic book Groo the Wanderer.

Aragonés had created the humorous barbarian comic book Groo the Wanderer with Mark Evanier in the late 1970s, but the character did not appear in print until 1982.

He received the National Cartoonist Society Comic Book Award for 1986, their Humor Comic Book Award for 1973, 1974, and 1976, their Magazine and Book Illustration Award for 1989, their Special Features Award for 1977, their Gag Cartoon Award for 1983, and their Reuben Award in 1996 for his work on Mad and Groo the Wanderer.

In 1992 he became the first Mexican ever to win the Eisner Award for his work in Groo the Wanderer, along Mark Evanier.

He has produced a number of comic books, including Blackhawk, Crossfire and Hollywood Superstars ( with Dan Spiegle ), Groo the Wanderer ( with Sergio Aragonés ), and The DNAgents ( with Will Meugniot ).

The series is also influenced somewhat by Groo the Wanderer by Sergio Aragonés ( Sakai is the letterer for that series ), but the overall tone of Usagi Yojimbo is more serious and reflective.

He began his career by lettering comic books ( notably Groo the Wanderer by Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier ) and wrote and illustrated The Adventures of Nilson Groundthumper and Hermy ; a comic series with a medieval setting, influenced by Sergio Aragones's Groo the Wanderer.

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.

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 1982, Pacific Comics began publishing Groo The Wanderer as a regular series.

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

At the 2007 WonderCon, the creators revealed that since 2005 they've been trying to produce a Groo / Conan crossover ( both titles are published by Dark Horse ) which would have the Wanderer encountering the Barbarian whom he has parodied.
