The Goon: Chinatown And The Mystery Of Mr. Wicker
Eric Powell
Dark Horse Books
$19.95 US (Hardcover)
**** (out of five)
The Goon is the toughest crook in town and everybody knows it, but the mysterious Mr. Wicker is keen to test that fact.
Bit by bit, the Goon’s territory, business and allies (even his best friend Franky) all get gobbled up by his supernaturally powerful rival, and the challenge to get it all back forces our hero to reflect back to a time when he was a better person — a man in love — back in Chinatown.
Creator Eric Powell finally draws back the curtain on some of the Goon’s greatest mysteries, including how he came by his trademark facial scars, in a stirring and notably darker original graphic novel than the Goon’s bimonthly Dark Horse Comics series.
