Johnny Boyo could have had it all. Women. Money. Success. As one of the most respected chefs in the galaxy, his cooking skills could have made him a star. But one day he decided to throw away his dream of him and become a space truck driver. Why? No one knows, not even the girl Johnny left before embarking on his new job. But, just when he thought cooking was a distant memory, a hologram of the resistance appears in Johnny's bowl of chicken wontons, asking for his help and forcing him to pick up the pan and turn on the stove... but what's the use of a dessert spoon against the attack of ruthless space ninjas? Wonton Soup is one of the first works by James Stokoe, who tells a funny and over the top story, and does it with his unmistakable indie style already appreciated by the public in works such as Godzilla - The 50 years war and Sullivan's Sluggers. A crazy space opera with an eye to manga narration, which moves with great originality between intergalactic trucks and gourmet cuisine!

Authors: Howard Chaykin
160 pages – 18 x 27,5 cm, B/W, hardcover
€24.90
A fundamentalist Islamic group unleashes a terrorist attack in the heart of New York. Chaos is everywhere and the United States immediately explodes into all its contradictions. Thus begins a race against time for the government to find - and therefore eliminate - the terrorist cells that organized the attack. And to unravel the larger conspiracy that seems to guide them. But, to do so, it will be necessary to rely on a singular and highly dysfunctional team, a group capable of acting without the constraints of state laws... and decency. The Divided States of Hysteria is, perhaps, among the most discussed graphic novels of recent years. One of Howard Chaykin's masterpieces - probably the most provocative contemporary American cartoonist, former author of Black Kiss and American Flagg - finally sees the light in our country. A raw and terrifyingly lucid narrative fresco that has already raised numerous controversies in the United States for how it chooses to stage a ferocious and sharp satire, capable of striking the most reactionary and retrograde part of American society to the core.
