El año que viene se cumple el 25.º aniversario de The Goon y, para celebrarlo, Eric Powell y Dark Horse Comics presentan una miniserie de cómics completamente nueva, The Goon: Them That Don't Stay Dead. . Powell (¿Escuchaste lo que hizo Eddie Gein?) escribirá e ilustrará la nueva serie. Craig Davison, un ilustrador conocido por su trabajo que representa a niños que se hacen pasar por sus personajes favoritos de cómics, cine y televisión, ilustrará una portada variante especial para The Goon: Them That Don’t Stay Dead #1.
El regreso a Lonely Street no ha sido fácil para Goon y Franky. Y justo cuando finalmente han vuelto a alinear a las diversas bandas de chupasangres y acosadores nocturnos, y finalmente pueden relajarse con una agradable noche de fiesta jugando a los bolos, aparece una nueva amenaza. Uno que sacudirá los cimientos mismos de Nameless Town. Además, Spider se engancha a la basura. ¡Drama!
“El hecho de que haya podido continuar con este libro reprensible (de vez en cuando) durante 25 años sólo habla de la depravación y la bancarrota moral del lector de cómics promedio. Y los amo por eso”, dijo Powell. “Mi entusiasmo por estos personajes no ha disminuido y me alegra que parezca que lo mismo ocurre con los lectores leales. Y también es lógico que esta serie de aniversario coincida con su regreso a la editorial Dark Horse Comics. ¡HISTORIETAS! ¡CINCO ALTOS! … (No vas a publicar. No me dejes colgado)”.
"Eric Powell y The Goon son viejos amigos de Dark Horse y estoy muy feliz de tenerlos de vuelta con nosotros", dijo el fundador de Dark Horse, Mike Richardson. "The Goon es un personaje especial y único en su tipo, y es apropiado verlo regresar en una nueva miniserie cuando cumple 25 años. El horror y el humor de Lonely Street son atemporales, y estoy deseando unirme a The Goon y Franky en algunas nuevas aventuras".
The Goon: Them That Don't Stay Dead #1 (de 4) libras llegará a las tiendas de cómics el 20 de marzo de 2024. Ahora está disponible para reservar en su tienda de cómics local por $ 4,99.

EISNER AWARD-WINNER ERIC POWELL PRESENTS A NEW MINISERIES STARRING THE GOON, “THE GOON: THEM THAT DON’T STAY DEAD” | |
Return to Lonely Street and celebrate 25 years of The Goon comics! | |
MILWAUKIE, Ore., (November 16, 2023)—Next year marks the 25th anniversary of The Goon, and to celebrate, Eric Powell and Dark Horse Comics present an all-new comic miniseries, The Goon: Them That Don’t Stay Dead. Powell (Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done?) will write and illustrate the new series. Craig Davison, an illustrator known for his work depicting children pretending to be their favorite characters from comics, film, and TV, will illustrate a special variant cover for The Goon: Them That Don’t Stay Dead #1.
The return to Lonely Street hasn’t been easy for the Goon and Franky. And just as they’ve finally got the various gangs of bloodsuckers and night stalkers back in line, and they can finally relax with a nice night out bowling, a new threat appears. One that will shake the very foundations of Nameless Town. Also, Spider gets hooked on the junk. Drama!
“It only speaks to the depravity and moral bankruptcy of the average comic reader that I have been able to continue this reprehensible book (off and on) for 25 years. And I love them for it,” said Powell. “My enthusiasm for these characters hasn’t waned and I’m glad it seems the same goes for the loyal readers. And it’s also only fitting that this anniversary series coincides with its return to longtime publisher Dark Horse Comics. COMICS! HIGH FIVE! … (You’re not posting up. Don’t leave me hangin’.)”
"Eric Powell and The Goon are old friends of Dark Horse, and I'm extremely happy to have them back with us,” said Dark Horse founder Mike Richardson. “The Goon is a special, one-of-a-kind character, and it's fitting to see him return in a new miniseries in his 25th year. The horror and humor of Lonely Street are timeless, and I'm looking forward to joining The Goon and Franky on some new adventures."
The Goon: Them That Don’t Stay Dead #1 (of 4) pounds it’s way into comic shops on March 20, 2024. It is now available to pre-order at your local comic shop for $4.99.
