Powell told us “The relaunch of the Goon, it€™s return to Albatross Funnybooks, and all in time for the book€™s 20th anniversary€¦ it couldn€™t get more meaningful for me.

Powell began self-publishing again in 2002 as Albatross Exploding Funny Books, and in 2003 publication of The Goon moved to Dark Horse.

Diamond Book Distributors has been named the exclusive worldwide distributor in the direct and bookstore market for Albatross Funnybooks.

An albatross soared to unexpected fame when it was caught on camera making a hilariously klutzy crash-landing at a wildlife sanctuary in New Zealand.

Tank Girl co-creator Alan Martin is penning the first series for the character under Albatross, with art from Brett Parson.
