CHEW TP VOL 01 (MR)

CHEW TP VOL 01 collects the opening arc of CHEW, a sharp, pulpy crime-fantasy series from writer John Layman and artist Rob Guillory. Tony Chu, a cibopath detective with the FDA’s Special Crimes Division, can receive psychic impressions from whatever he eats, a talent that makes him a hell of a sleuth—if he’s willing to bite into the evidence. In this volume, Chu investigates bizarre, stomach-turning cases that blend noir spice with a surreal appetite for crime, forcing him to navigate danger, corruption, and moral gray areas. Guillory’s kinetic, expressive art keeps the tone playful even as the stakes rise, delivering humor, texture, and bite on every page. This first trade paperback sets up a compelling premise, a delectable mix of mystery, conspiracy, and culinary oddities, and introduces a cast of characters that expands across the series.
