One of the greats in the field of true-crime literature, Harold Schechter, teams with five-time Eisner Award-winning graphic novelist Eric Powell to bring you the tale of one of the most notoriously deranged murderers in American history, Ed Gein. This 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. 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, heartbreaking and psychotic events.

There aren't many characters like the Goon in comics and there aren't many creators as unique and enjoyable as Eric Powell.IGN** After the tragic events of _Occasion of Revenge_, the witch coven believes that control of the unnamed town will soon be in their grasp and the Goon's tragic soul will contribute to the curse that increases their power. But has their plot destroyed the Goon or created a monster too savage for them to withstand? _Once upon a Hard Time_ is a climactic miniseries that has major consequences for the Goon and his supporting cast. If you're a _Goon_ fan, you can't miss this. Powell's story is sweet when it needs to be, warm and touching when it wants to be, and brutal and gruesome when it has to be.Bloody Disgusting
