STARVE VOL. 1 SERVES UP A TAUT, POLITICAL EXAMINATION OF POP CULTURE


The first story arc of the dystopian thriller about a culinary competition of deadly proportions. Brian Wood (Star Wars, DMZ, The Massive), Danijel Zezelj (Northlanders, Loveless), & Dave Stewart (THE WALKING DEAD, Star Wars) are cooking up a story set in the near future, where celebrity chefs are idolized and the reality television trend has taken an even more unhealthy turn in STARVE, VOL. 1. This collects issues #1-5 into trade paperback and will be available in January.

STARVE, VOL. 1 is set in a world where chefs are practically royalty, and access to them is the ultimate status symbol. Chef Gavin Cruikshank, back from self-imposed exile, finds his little foodie television program "Starve" transformed into a gonzo arena sport where chefs slice and dice rare and endangered species for their super-rich patrons. Since his personal life is as much a shambles as his professional career, Chef Cruikshank works to repair his relationship with his grown daughter while dismantling the monstrosity that Starve has become.

STARVE, VOL. 1 (ISBN: 978-1-63215-546-7) hits comic book stores on Wednesday, January 13th and bookstores on Tuesday, January 19th, and will be available for $9.99. It can be pre-ordered now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and IndieBound.
