The animated feature "The Goon", based on the Dark Horse Comics comic book series, first published in 1999, from writer/illustrator Eric Powell is being co-produced by Dark Horse' Mike Richardson ("The Mask") and David Fincher ("Fight Club") for Blur Studio, Inc.
"...'The Goon' was an orphan raised by his 'Aunt Kizzie', a carnival side-show 'strong-woman'. When wanted gangster 'Labrazio' made the carnival his hiding place, Goon confronted him, with Labrazio showing Goon a book containing the names of all his underworld connections.
"But the police track Labrazio down and surround the trailer.
"In the resulting shoot-out, Goon's Aunt Kizzie is gunned down by Labrazio. Goon then kills the mobster, steals his book of contacts and takes over his entire criminal operation..."
The Goon is a hulking figure, wearing the hat he took from Labrazio.
