"Knife to the eye!" As you can probably tell from his name - The Goon is a tough guy's tough guy. Defending Lonely Street with his sidekick Franky from nefarious evils he exists in a zany wild-ass universe full of giant man-eating eyeballs from other dimensions, gypsy curses, cut-aways, zombies, monty python references and murderous childhoods . All served with a twist of nihilistic noir and Texas chainsaw hillbilly hilarity over a cold slice of spooky mysteries and butt-kicking. Quote: "That picture book done opened my eyes." Enjoy.
