Johnny Hiro #2

In "Lobster Run," Johnny Hiro finds himself in a surreal culinary crisis when his boss sends him to steal a lobster from a rival restaurant—only to face a full-scale kitchen uprising of furious, knife-wielding chefs. Written and illustrated by Fred Chao, with colors by Dylan Babb and letters by Jesse Post, this 2007 AdHouse Books gem turns a simple food run into a chaotic, high-stakes chase. The cover, also by Fred Chao, captures the absurd tension perfectly.
