I just want to help bring what I’ve loved for so long to the next generation!” “Sergio’s style, the characters, the world, and especially the humor have always appealed to me. “I’ve loved Groo the Wanderer since I was eight years old, and to have the honor of bringing the character to on-screen life is, quite literally, a lifelong dream come true,” Jones says. Now, I know that we are going in the right direction and I can assure the fans that they will love Groo the way Mark and I do.” We studied what we have seen on the screen by different animators and laughed plenty. “Mark and I wondered so many times how he - Groo, not Mark - would look animated. “After drawing and living with Groo for so many years, so many comics, so many pages, you can imagine I have drawn Groo in every position imaginable,” Aragonés explains. Projects are being packaged for streaming services and global distribution, with Did I Err able to co-finance as needed.
Did I Err is focused on partnering with creative talent who understand Aragonés’ vision and characters.
WANDERER IN SPANISH SERIES
Jones, and his Did I Err partner Scott Nocas, will serve as executive producers on the film and/or series with Aragonés and Evanier.
The brainchild of Aragonés, who creates the stories along with wordsmith Mark Evanier, the Eisner Award-winning Groo the Wanderer has been published by Dark Horse Comics since 1998. Groo the Wanderer, now in its landmark 40th year of publication, is the longest currently-running independent and “creator-owned” comic book property – outlasting many of the companies that published it. Entrepreneur Josh Jones has acquired the animated film and television rights to Groo the Wanderer, legendary cartoonist Sergio Aragonés’ beloved comics character, with the intent of producing the character’s first-ever animated entertainment via Jones’ Did I Err Productions company.
