Tony Chu, the
cibopathic federal agent with the ability to get psychic impressions from the
things he eats, is on a bizarre new case. A newly discovered fruit takes Agent
Chu to a remote island full of secrets, strangeness-and a shadowy killer with a
particularly sinister appetite. Presenting the second storyline of IGN.com's
pick for Best Indie Series of 2009 and MTV Splash Page.com's pick for Best New
Series of 2009. Find out what the fuss is about in this latest a twisted and
darkly funny comic about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibals and clairvoyants.
We continue to
follow Tony, but this time we head into international waters. He had followed
clues to this little island and is determined to solve the mystery of the
Gallsberry. Which he’s told is fruit that tastes like chicken when cooked and
appeared sometime after the chicken prohibition. As he’s gathering intel he
begins to notice that there’s something much bigger going on. It’s bigger than
Tony ever expected and he can’t turn away now. Especially when the evidence is
all starting to link to cases in the previous volume… Tony’s old partner
reappears, his brother is tangled in the mess yet again, and he finally gets to
save the girl!
I can't say enough
good things about this series. The storyline grabs your hand and sucks you into
the plot with great storytelling and witty characters. The illustrations are
amazing and filled with easter eggs in just about every panel. If the plot
doesn't have you laughing, you’ll be cracking up with the hidden pop culture
references--items from Office Space (reminders about TPS reports come up a
lot), Perry from Phineas and Ferb, Portraits of Patrick Swayze and other
celebrities, snarky slogans, and just about anything else funny you can think
of. I highly recommend it!
NOTE: I'm not a professional grader, I collected
comics as a HOBBY. I'm selling from my
own collection. All my books are handled with great care, and are boarded,
bagged and stored in a smoke free, air conditioned setting. I do my best to accurately describe all my
items. If you have any questions please
send me a message. I'm more than happy to help!

the actual item you are bidding on.
I ship all
comics with extreme care to ensure safe delivery. Small collections are mailed in a Gemini
comics mailer inside an envelope marked “DO NOT BEND.” SAVAGE DRAGON would have a hard time damaging
your books.
I LOVE to
combine shipping so please check out all my other sales. NOTE: with E-Bay’s new combined shipping rules, you now have to place
items in your cart and REQUEST AN INVOICE in order for me to offer combined
shipping discounts.
