Eric Powell’s Chimichanga #1, Albatross Exploding Funny Books
Chimichanga made its debut in comic shops a few weeks ago and is one of the best things to hit the shelf in months. The lead character is a little bearded girl (that’s right) in a traveling circus. In what may be one of the most unique concepts in some time,
Goon creator Eric Powell, draws us into this bizarre tale and leaves us anxiously awaiting the next chapter. While the book may be suitable for all ages, it is smartly written enough for the most high brow of comic snobs. The book is beautifully (and disturbingly) illustrated, as Goon fans have come to expect, with just enough color to set the mood without distracting the reader from the story or art. While Goon fans certainly won’t be disappointed, Powell has left the door open for an entirely new audience as well. Cover price is only three bucks, a bargain at twice the price!
