Just got my Eric Powell commission of Buzzard up on the wall. I really love the drawing and can't thank Dan (Par2ch) enough for making it happen for me! Cheers!

heres my latest Goon acquisition, This was more expensive then a Goon #1 from avatar press as there are only 4 9.8s and is by far the hardest to score a 9.8! This bad boy moved me to 3rd on the registry...

Wow, I wish I would have paid cover for the variant.

 

The entire series is very underordered in Colorado which is very aggravating. Hell, Mile High Mega Store only ordered 3 friggin' copies!

TJ one of the coolest things I saw was Eric working on your sketch. Once it was finished, I was amazed at the detailed work, even when Dan brought it back to the room I was still in shock... Now that it's framed, I can't think of another person that deserves the #1 Goon Fan Award. ;)

:news:Goon SDCC panel update!

(from a fellow poster on the Dark Horse Goon boards)

 

"The panel started with Tom Lennon, Ben Garant and a youth dressed as Nacho Libre entering stage right. Tom and Ben introduced themselves as Eric's brothers that traveled to SDCC via Greyhound bus. Word to the wise, do not fall asleep on a Greyhound bus, as you will be treated like a party favour.

 

Tom and Ben were hilarious, as usual, and kept in character throughout the panel, interrupting Eric [like jealous older siblings] alleging that characters from the Goon were based on them [ie, Peaches Valentine] and they have not seen a cent.

 

At one point Tom advised Eric that their mother passed away and was buried in a Norton's Pub t-shirt. Ben suggested that the SSB issue was the cause of her demise.

 

Blur Studios was present at the panel and...wait for it...we saw two clips from the upcoming movie. We saw the Goon [voiced by Clancy Brown] give a public service announcement on handling "slack-jaws" and then Franky [voiced by Paul Giamatti] utter the phrase "knife to the eye" with perfection. It was amazing seeing the characters we love come to life. We also saw a clip of Franky ordering a drink from Norton in the pub.

 

At one point during the panel David Fincher called to check whether the audience was receptive to the clip. The crowd was beyond receptive and loudly vocalized their approval.

 

The rest of the panel was Q&A and, at times, the show was stolen by Eric's son [Nacho Libre] who took over the microphone and added his two cents."

 

 

:banana:

Can't wait to see the video on the Internet!

Wasn't Clancy Brown the actor that played Brother Justin from HBO's "Carnivale" series? That guy has one hell of a voice.

 

I knew he was working on an animated Conan movie with Ron Perlman, but didn't realize his involvement in Goon.

4) "The Spectacular Spider-Man" .... George Stacy , (16 episodes, 2008-2009)

And not only is Clancy Brown an awesome voice actor, but he was scary as hell as the Kurgan in the Highlander movie! Both casting choices are very, very good!

This isn't from this year's SDCC. I repeat, this is NOT from this year's SDCC!

 

But! It was a pretty funny little panel video I found while looking for the Goon movie clips (which I haven't found yet). It's from a couple of years ago.
