Three Goon tales are Collected for the First Time in The Goon: Bunch of Old Crap Omnibus Vol. 6

Posted on by

Dark Horse Books presents The Goon: Bunch of Old Crap Omnibus Volume 6, the newest omnibus volume of the award-winning crime pulp series now published under Eric Powell’s Albatross Funnybooks imprint. Volume 6 will collect three Goon tales: A Ragged Return to Lonely Street, written and illustrated by award-winning cartoonist Eric Powell; The Deceit of a Cro-Magnon Dandy, written by Powell and Tom Sniegoski and illustrated by Brett Parson; Fishy Men, Witchy Women & Bitter Beer, written by Roger Langridge, illustrated by Mike Norton, and colored by Marissa Louise; and more.

Nameless Town is a tough place. So tough that the only one thing standing between you and that thing that crawled out of the sewer and ate your old neighbor lady before trying to shake you down for the cash in your pockets is a mob boss known as the Goon and his psychotic counter part that goes by Franky.

After strange journeys abroad, the Goon and Franky return to Nameless Town to find that a horde of unsavory characters has filled the void left in their absence. Our reluctant hero has his work cut out for him as he faces off against the likes of Seti the Southside Mummy, Vinny Nosferatu, and a Cro-Magnon mobster in a pinstriped suit who wants his blood.

The Goon: Bunch of Old Crap Omnibus Volume 6 (paperback, 480 pages, 10.1875” x 6.625”) will be available in bookstores on August 11, 2026 and in comics shops on August 12, 2026. It is now available to preorder at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and your local comics shop and bookstore for $34.99.
