The Goon Library

A handsome hardcover library edition collecting the early, formative years of Eric Powell's acclaimed creator-owned series, The Goon Library (2015–2017) from Dark Horse presents the grisly, hilarious misadventures of a mob enforcer in a world of gangsters, zombies, and Lovecraftian horrors. This five-issue run reprints the earliest stories, establishing the unique tone that made the series a cult favorite: a blend of slapstick comedy, grotesque violence, and genuine pathos. Powell's singular, expressive artwork and sharp dialogue define the book, which is essential for readers wanting to see the foundation of one of the most distinctive independent comics of the 2000s.
