The Goon: Noir

In 2006 and 2007, Patton Oswalt and artist Mike Ploog brought a darkly comedic, crime-inflected spin to Eric Powell's The Goon universe over three issues from Dark Horse. This short series leans into the seedy, supernatural underbelly of the Goon's world, with Oswalt's sharp dialogue and Ploog's moody, expressive art crafting a taut, character-driven noir tale. It stands as a memorable, offbeat collaboration that showcases the versatility of the Goon's setting beyond its usual horror-comedy roots.
