About the series
A darkly comedic, long-running saga from Delcourt, The Goon follows the hulking, dim-witted enforcer of a crime boss in a Depression-era town infested with zombies, monsters, and the supernatural. Spanning 13 issues from 2005 to 2016, the series is most associated with creator Eric Powell, whose detailed, grotesque artwork and sharp, profane humor give the book its distinctive, cult-classic identity. It matters as a masterful blend of horror, slapstick, and genuine pathos, carving out a unique space in independent comics for its unapologetically weird and heartfelt storytelling.
