“The Goon” by Eric Powell was debuted in March 1999. But due to some publication problem the full fledged issues were published by Dark Horse Comics in the year 2003. And now after these many years the Dark Horse Comics have esteemed 2008 as “The Year of The Goon”.
People not familiar with the story line here’s an outline. “The Goon” is an orphan brought up by his aunt Kizzie in a mobile cavalcade. A gangster named Labrazio joins this carnival and kills aunt Kizzie. Now goon punches and whacks Labrrazio’s skull with a rock. The Goon recovers Labrazio’s black book and begins to act as the gangster. But now again there is a twist as a figure comes and alleges to be Labrazio. And hence there is an irony whether to believe him or not.
“The Goon: Fancy Pants” was unveiled in the starting of this year. Powell says that “The monthly storyline that I’m doing for this year pretty much wraps everything up that I started from the very beginning.”
The Goon’s 26th edition is available now.
