A review by lilfrankybooks
The Goon Library Volume 1 by Eric Powell

5.0

I really, really, love this comic. This is my third reread of some of these stories: I didn't really realize my first time that this book has the potential to really be seen as... discriminatory? I'm not sure what the word is that I'm looking for, but it vacillates between funny, and puerile, and offensive in the way that 12 year olds are? But I can imagine many different people I know really looking down their nose at this book as insensitive, and while I can't really disagree with it, I can't help but love this book. When it's not being gross and offensive, it's being very deeply moving. And holy shit the art. So incredible.
