Eric Powell (born March 3, 1975) is an American comic book writer/artist, best known as the creator of The Goon.

Powell quickly switched to self-publishing under the moniker Albatross Exploding Funny Books,[1] before being picked up by Dark Horse after only a handful of issues.

The following year, Powell won Eisner's Best Humor Publication and Best Continuing Series awards.
