Hungry Ghosts #2

The second installment of Anthony Bourdain and Joel Rose's food-horror anthology arrives with a cover by Paul Pope that sets the tone perfectly: a wide-eyed waiter in apron clutches a grotesque, snarling severed head in one hand and a ladle in the other, all set against the rustic backdrop of "La Taverna." It's a delightfully unsettling image that captures exactly what this series does best — blending the culinary world with creeping dread. With interior art by Leonardo Manco, "Salty Horse" promises another dark, flavorful tale from this four-issue Berger Books series.
