"A psychic cannibal detective? Yes, please!" --Felicia Day
Collecting all 60 issues of the New York Times bestselling, Harvey and multiple Eisner Award-winning series about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibals, and clairvoyants in a single massive volume.
Chu is a detective with a secret. A weird secret. Tony Chu is Cibopathic, which means he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. It also means he's a hell of a detective, as long as he doesn't mind nibbling on the corpse of a murder victim to figure out whodunit, and why. He's been brought on by the Special Crimes Division of the FDA, the most powerful law enforcement agency on the planet, to investigate their strangest, sickest, and most bizarre cases.
Also included are the blockbuster one-shots featuring everybody's favorite homicidal rooster, SECRET AGENT POYO, WARRIOR CHICKEN POYO, DEMON CHICKEN POYO.

Reviews
"This comic [CHEW] is witty and unique, I love the world that's created, and the spoofy nature of the stories and characters doesn't just skim the surface."
"Chew is a sick, offbeat, warped, disturbing and very crazy comic. It's also hilarious and quite brilliant."
