Dark Horse Comics has announced the release of a hardcover "library edition" of Eric Powell’s multiple Eisner Award-winning series The Goon, for November 11, 2015.
 
The Goon Library Edition Volume One will collect the first three trade paperbacks: Nothin’ but Misery (Vol. 1), My Murderous Childhood (Vol. 2), and Heaps of Ruination (Vol. 3) as well as The Goon: Rough Stuff (Vol. 0). The hardcover will have an MSRP of $39.95.
 
"Why publish Library Editions?  Well, they’re bigger and heavier than the regular trades and they have hard covers.  That means it will hurt more when you hit someone in the head with it," said Powell.  "Plus, I wanna make bank bro.  I need a Range Rover."
 
There is plenty of new Goon material on the way as well.  Dark Horse has plans to release a new miniseries, Once Upon a Hard Time, beginning in February (see "Dark Horse NYCC Round-Up") and its Free Comic Book Day offering will include a new The Goon story as well (see "FCBD 2015 Gold Comics Announced").
