Powell and Oeming on The Goon!

I've been singing the praises of Eric Powell's The Goon for more than a couple of years now. If you like great art, comic books, monsters, mobsters, zombies, witches and lots of [sometimes sick] humor, then you ought to give this book a try.

It just keeps getting better and better.

Issue 16 is on the stands now. Of course it features the writing and art of Eric Powell and is a great jumping on point for those who've never read The Goon. Here's a full look at the banner from the top of this point. Purty, ain't it.

As an added bonus, Michael Avon Oeming provides the art for a Goon short adventure written by Tom Sniegoski. Frankie and the Goon decide to rescue a baby held for ransom by a horde of zombies!

I aboslutely love Oeming's art for this. Here's a shot of Frankie and the Goon. Ya gotta love it. Here's a reaction shot that is priceless. Of course you'd understand why I like it so much if you read the story.

So what are you waiting for? It's available at your local comic shop now!
