The Goon Library Volume 4

Lonely Street comes under all manner of threats both tragic and hilarious in this hardcover edition of The Goon. After surviving the return of Labrazio, Goon wants nothing more than to settle onto a barstool with some whiskey, but a succession of cake-mad hobo gods, snake-hurling hillbillies, and bodacious burlesque dancers have other ideas. And somewhere on Lonely Street, a resurgent zombie priest plots his next attack...Collects The Goon trde paperbacks volumes 10-12.Praise for Eric Powell's The Goon series:"Every panel [is] gorgeously detailed, like a Max Fleischer cartoon if Cthulu spat some sort of hellish bile all over it. Few artists can actually, truly justify the purchase of a comic through their art alone, but Powell is certainly one of them." -ign.com"Eric Powell's great series The Goon deftly combines lowbrow humor with unexpected emotional depth in its ongoing story of a big, not-so-dumb guy who does battle with zombies in a town seemingly dreamt up by Tom Waits." -The Onion A.V. Club
