Them That Raised Us Lament
Volume 12 marks the last volume currently available at my local library. This chapter begins with another chapter in the Goon’s origin as we learn just how Aunt Kizzie ended up a circus strong lady and the ward of the Goon. Then in perhaps the most bizarre, as well as most preachy chapter in the series, creator Eric Powell imagines what Goon would’ve been like if he was a superhero. Just about every trend, art style, and cliché in the comics medium is explored, no exploited, here. Finally in a tribute of sorts to the Prohibition era and the Dukes of Hazzard, Goon and Franky create a hot rod in hopes of transporting hooch and run afoul of a rival family of deranged bootleggers. That tale is not my cup of tea.
