Development

Gauld wrote a story about the biblical figure of Noah in Kramers Ergot, issue 7 (2008). According to Gauld, it "was one of the things which led [him] to do Goliath."

The longer format of Goliath—compared to the author's previous work—made the book more challenging to work on, according to Gauld.
