$3.50
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W/A/CA) Eric Powell
This climactic issue wraps up the story that started sixteen years ago with the very first issue of The Goon. The Goon has hard choices to make. Some live. Some die. And everything changes. Don't miss this major turning point in the Goon mythology.

BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy


"The secret ingredient is ...love?!?" There are probably going to be people who feel let down by the final issue of Once Upon A Hard Time. They're wrong, and must not have been reading closely over such major stories as Chinatown and An Occasion of Revenge. Eric Powell has always used love-either the lack of it, the abuse of it, the need for it- as the thing lifting the Goon up or beating him down. Written like someone who's only had heartbreak, drawn like someone who's trying to get God's attention, Eric Powell puts a fairly definitive stamp on this particular chapter of his creation. Look for major changes in the Goon's life the next time we see him.

I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams
