CHEW TP VOL 04 FLAMBE (MR)
Description
Tony Chu, the cibopathic federal agent, returns in the fourth arc of the Eisner- and Harvey-winning CHEW. In these issues, strange celestial writing fills the night sky, testing the FDA’s grip on order as Tony navigates a world where the bizarre and the bureaucratic collide. Layman’s sharp, darkly comic storytelling pairs with Guillory’s vivid, appetite-for-life art to mix humor, crime, and a dash of cosmic oddity. This collection—CHEW #16-20—deepens the series’ quirky mythology, following Tony as he chases leads, pieces together a conspiracy, and confronts the consequences of his unusual gift. With snappy dialogue, inventive creatures, and a fearless willingness to push boundaries, FLAMBE marks a standout entry in a property that blends detective noir with culinary horror and sci-fi twists. Its bold visuals and brisk pacing make it easy to dive in, or revisit, for new readers and longtime fans alike.
