Chew #33

Part three of the "Bad Apples" arc finds our put-upon FDA agent squeezed — quite literally — between a pair of imposing, sailor-tattooed figures, while a growling dog crowds the frame from below. Rob Guillory's cover delivers his signature mix of absurdist comedy and visual tension, packing the composition with navy anchor tattoos, neckerchiefs, and one very unhappy protagonist caught in the middle of it all. John Layman and Guillory are firing on all cylinders with this 2013 Image series, and this issue promises more of the gloriously weird food-crime mayhem the book does so well.
