The Goon Library Volume 5

Description

The return of the Zombie Priest, a Latin-tongued Godzilla, drunk sailors, and a Halloween visit from Billy the Kid are just a few of the special tricks and treats included in the Goon Library finale. What's left of the Zombie Priest's race of witches comes after the Goon, forcing him to face his nightmares or lose his town! The witch coven believes that control of Goon s town will soon be in their grasp and his 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?
