      DER GROSSE ZORN DES KLEINEN MANNES Für den kleinwüchsigen Big Man war das Leben kein Zuckerschlecken. Seine Tage im Fegefeuer der Kleinstadt, der Schule, des Waisenhauses, des Vietnamkriegs und des Knasts haben ihn allerdings zu einem knallharten Kämpfer und skrupellosen Killer geschmiedet. Wer ihm wegen seiner Größe einen Spruch drückt oder sonst wie auf ihn herabblickt, handelt sich gewaltigen Ärger ein und bezahlt mit Blut, Zähnen oder sogar dem Leben. Jetzt kehrt Big Man nach Hause zurück, wo einige seiner schmerzhaftesten Erinnerungen begraben liegen. Eigentlich wollte er nie wieder auch nur einen Fuß in das kleine Drecksnest in Tennessee setzen. Doch ein Brief hat alles verändert – die Zeit der Rache ist gekommen… Die komplette, ebenso brutale wie schräge und herzzerreißende Miniserie Big Man Plans als deutsche Erstveröffentlichung in einem Band! Inszeniert vom mehrfachen Eisner Award-Gewinner und The Goon-Schöpfer Eric Powell und Koautor Tim Wiesch.

    • Einen Termin für einen Satz heißer Ohren bei dem Goon zu kriegen, ist nicht ganz leicht.

Im zweiten Band seiner Zombie-Redneck-Faustkampf-Parade, lässt Shooting-Star Eric Powell seinen Protagonisten überlebensgroße Meeresfrüchte vermöbeln, Spukhäuser abfackeln, Zombies an die Wand nageln und Weihnachten retten – Spaß für die ganze Familie also. „Was ein Elend!“ beinhaltet alle Bände der zweiten abgeschlossenen Mini-Serie von The Goon sowie die ersten bei Dark Horse erschienen Kurzgeschichten. Plus Pin-Up-Galerie, zahlreiche redaktionelle Extras und ein Handkuss des Verlegers beim Kauf von mehr als drei Exemplaren.

Few artists can actually, truly justify the purchase of a comic through their art alone, but Powell is certainly one of them."-ign.com"Eric Powell's great series The Goon deftly combines lowbrow humor with unexpected emotional depth in its ongoing story of a big, not-so-dumb guy who does battle with zombies in a town seemingly dreamt up by Tom Waits."-The Onion A.V.

      One of the greats in the field of true-crime literature, Harold Schechter (Deviant, The Serial Killer Files, Hell's Princess), teams with five-time Eisner Award-winning graphic novelist Eric Powell (The Goon, Big Man Plans, Hillbilly) to bring you the tale of one of the most notoriously deranged murderers in American history, Ed Gein. DID YOU HEAR WHAT EDDIE GEIN DONE? is an in-depth exploration of the Gein family and what led to the creation of the necrophile who haunted the dreams of 1950s America and inspired such films as Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs. Painstakingly researched and illustrated, Schechter and Powell's true-crime graphic novel takes the Gein story out of the realms of exploitation and gives the reader a fact-based dramatization of these tragic, psychotic and heartbreaking events. Because, in this case, the truth needs no embellishment to be horrifying.
