[I wanted to write something about my favorite kid friendly horror comic for Halloween, so I did.]
Writer/artist/publisher Eric Powell is probably best known for his action/horror
comic book ‘The Goon’, in which thuggish anti-hero The Goon and his diminutive sidekick
Franky battle zombies, witches, and other forces of evil. That book is on
hiatus at the moment, but you should definitely check out the collected trade
paperbacks. They’re a lot of fun.
At the moment Powell’s primary focus is another action/horror
book called ‘Hillbilly’, but he’s also found time to do something that is all
too rare these days. His Albatross comics company has given a home to ‘Spook
House’, a horror anthology miniseries of “scary stories fit for kids.”
