The Goon #8

The Goon stands front and center on this French-language Delcourt edition, axe in hand and looking every bit the bruiser he is — with a cast of unsettling monstrous faces looming in the murky blue-green shadows behind him. Subtitled Le Bal des Damnés ("The Ball of the Damned"), this 2010 volume promises the kind of darkly atmospheric pulp horror that Eric Powell brings to every corner of this series. A great entry point for Francophone readers into one of comics' most distinctive genre mash-ups.
