Written by JOHN LAYMAN. Art and cover by ROB GUILLORY.

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!

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!

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.
