In the savage foodscape of future Los Angeles, warring gourmet factions fight for control, but one renegade sushi chef refuses to choose a side. This complete edition of Get Jiro! delivers the entire high-octane saga, including the origin story from Blood & Sushi, in one sharp-edged, blood-spattered volume. Collects Get Jiro! and Get Jiro: Blood & Sushi.

In diesem Buch wird der Versuch unternommen, das grundlegende Gesellschaftssystem, das jede zivilisierte Gesellschaft dieser Welt aufweist, zu benennen, zu charakterisieren und zu analysieren. Denn jeder Mensch ist ein Individuum und doch wird jeder Mensch in seinem Leben gemerkt haben, dass er die eigene individuelle Persönlichkeit nicht ausleben kann, weil bestimmte Handlungen vielleicht komisch wirken oder man die Verurteilung durch andere Menschen befürchtet. Doch nun wandelt das Individuum nicht mehr im Dunkeln umher. Es ist Zeit, dieses Gesellschaftssystem endlich zu verstehen. Parallel zu informativen Texten weist dieses Buch auch eine kurze fiktive Geschichte auf, die die emotionalen Konsequenzen des Gesellschaftssystems beleuchtet. Begeben auch Sie sich auf die Suche nach der Wahrheit hinter unserem Gesellschaftssystem!

The last candles are lit and the final, most forbidden tales told in this shocking finale! In the frozen Nigata Prefecture, a country cook learns discretion the hard way after an encounter with the cryptic, but irresistible Snow Woman, and Hungry Ghosts seal the insatiable fate of famine-stricken villagers in the most voracious, unthinkable way possible when a stranger comes to town. For mature readers.

One by one the candles are snuffed out as the ghostly game of dread and terror continues through the never-ending night. Next up, two tales of shocking horror: ''The way to a man's heart is through his stomach'' takes on a whole new meaning as an accomplished young chef returns to his small-town home from the big city to find insatiable mouths to feed. And in the backroom brigade of a fine French kitchen, an abusive master chef gets what's coming to him in the most unspeakable of manners. Featuring art by Paul Pope! Mature readers.

The terrifying storytelling game of 100 Candles continues with two ghastly tales of the Mediterranean: In a desolate trattoria in the foothills of Southern Italy, an exiled master chef forms an unhealthy attachment to his new apprentice. And in the Spanish countryside, the rich Don of a sprawling ranch with an appetite for his stable gets a horrifying taste from beyond the dinner table. Mature readers.

Kitchen Nightmares! On a dark, haunted night, a Russian oligarch dares a circle of international chefs to play the samurai game of 100 Candles--where each storyteller spins a terrifying tale of ghosts, demons and unspeakable beings--and prays to survive the challenge. Inspired by the Japanese Edo period game of Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, Hungry Ghosts reimagines the classic stories of yokai, yorei, and obake, all tainted with the common thread of food. First course: With bad consequence, a ramen chef refuses to help a beggar, and a band of pirates get more (and less) than they were bargaining for after their encounter with a drowning woman turns ghastly. Hungry Ghosts is cooked up by the infamous author and chef, Anthony Bourdain (Kitchen Confidential, Emmy-Award winning TV star of Parts Unknown) and acclaimed novelist Joel Rose (Kill, Kill, Faster, Faster, back again from their New York Times #1 best seller, Get Jiro!). Joining them this issue are stellar artists Alberto Ponticelli and Vanesa Del Rey, with amazing color by Jose Villarrubia, and a drop-dead cover by Paul Pope

Acclaimed chef, writer and television personality, Anthony Bourdain, and Joel Rose (Kill The Poor) return for the follow-up to their #1 New York Times bestseller GET JIRO! In a prequel to The New York Times best-selling comic from renowned chef Anthony Bourdain (CNN’s Parts Unknown), Jiro is a young man learning his craft. The son of one of Tokyo’s most powerful gangsters, he is torn between his father’s plans for him and his own desire to master the art of sushi. The family is making a bold move in the Tokyo underworld, and if Jiro isn’t going to get with the program, his half-brother Ichigo is more than happy to step in and do the dirty work. This bloody take on a classic crime and revenge tale adds an irreverent sense of humor and a futuristic vision of foodie culture, all with a flavor only Anthony Bourdain can cook up. Co-written by Joel Rose (The Blackest Bird) with art by Alé Garza (Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day) and José Villarrubia (Promethea, BATMAN: YEAR 100).

"Irresistibly seductive...a masterpiece." —Anthony Bourdain In the sweltering New York summer of 1841, five people are found brutally murdered.
