Beloved humorist and comics-scene fixture Sergio Aragonés (perpetrator of Groo the Wanderer and many hysterical bits in Mad) takes his turn as righteous satirist in Dia De Los Muertos. This provocative 1998 Dark Horse one-shot takes aim at American cultural imperialism in the form of obnoxious tourists, megalomaniac capitalists, and theme-park consumerism. Aragonés couches his earnest critique in a fable of a small town in Mexico that performs a unique ritual every year on the Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos, November 1). Attempts by heavy-handed Americans to exploit this ceremony for profit backfire in a most gruesome (or “Groo”some) manner.
