Allegheny Image Factory; $14.95

This is one of the most enjoyable blends of comics and another medium we've ever seen. Bob Tinnell, the co-writer of Image Comics' The Black Forest and The Wicked West and Speakeasy Comics upcoming graphic novel The Living and The Dead, sets ahead his horror hat for a moment and delves into his family's Italian heritage with a deeply human comic strip called Feast of the Seven Fishes. This wonderful book collects all the strips in the series and adds in a cookbook featuring the dishes described in the strip and more. Teamed with relative newcomer Ed Piskor on art for the first 60 strips and Amazing Spider-Man Sunday page artist Alex Saviuk for the second 60, Tinnell captures the themes of Italian-American heritage and assimilation, family, and more. The book has a foreword by our own Steve Geppi to boot!
