The Goon 25¢ Edition

    (Dark Horse, 2005)
™ and © Dark Horse Comics, Inc.

The 2005 Eisner Award Winner for Best Ongoing Series and Best Humor Publication is back with a 25¢ sampler issue featuring an all-new tale starring The Goon, a muscle-bound roustabout intent on destroying evil creatures everywhere. Creator Eric Powell is obviously inspired by Jack Davis and the late Wally Wood, and creates his own style based on those two masters, which is a mixture of horror and humor, reminiscent of the earliest issues of Mad, when it was a 10¢ comic book featuring comedic horror spoofs. As the book says, “Even the undead fear… The Goon!”
