Eric Powell Talks Goon's 20th Anniversary & More
Jun 29, 2019
The Goon’s whiskey-fueled adventures have thrilled fans, critics, and creators for almost two decades. That's definitely something to celebrate! And publisher, Albatross Funnybooks, will be celebrating throughout 2019.
In the above interview, Goon creator Eric Powell tells us about the past, present, and future of his cult-hit character. He even updates us on that David Fincher movie, as well.
"The 20th Anniversary of the Goon kicked off in March and I've been on a book tour since then," said Powell. "We've re-launched the book at my company Albatross Funnybooks and everybody's been really enthusiastic at all the stops we've been making. All the fans have been crazy supportive, it's been great."
About Albatross Funnybooks:
Launched in 2002, Albatross Exploding Funnybooks has always been a labor of love for award-winning, Nashville-based cartoonist Eric Powell. The label began as a means to publish Powell’s creator-owned series THE GOON, which mainstream publishers had deemed “too different.” Although THE GOON later found a home and wider audience with Dark Horse Comics, Powell continued to publish, celebrate, and cultivate creator-owned titles through Albatross Exploding Funnybooks, including his all-ages comic CHIMICHANGA and Rebecca Sugar’s PUG DAVIS. In 2016, Powell rededicated himself in earnest to his publishing company, launching his new fantasy series HILLBILLY and other works such as the all-ages horror anthology SPOOK HOUSE, Fabian Rangel Jr. and Logan Faerber’s weird war tale ’NAMWOLF and Brendon Small’s GALAKTKON.
Here are all of the Albatross Funnybooks titles available in the July PREVIEWS:
