The Goon is a comic book series by Eric Powell, published by Dark Horse Comics. The story is about the adventures of the Goon, a mafia hitman working for the feared Labrazio Family. He teams up with his sidekick, Frankie, to rid the city of evil zombie gangs under the command of the Nameless Priest.
The Goon exists in a strange, alternate 1930s, with all the hallmarks of the gangster period but also with some more modern conveniences, such as television and giant robots. The series has a distinctly paranormal slant, with the average story concerning ghosts, ghouls or skunk-apes with an unnatural hunger for pie. However, there have been issues that concern extradimensional aliens and mad scientists.
