STARVE #4
IMAGE COMICS SETTEMBRE 2015
“I usually describe it as a darkly comic take on celebrity chefs and foodie culture in a dystopia setting. That usually covers it, but there’s a few secondary layers to the series, such as the father-daughter subplot, how Chef Cruikshank is struggling with ideas of fame, of aging, his sexual identity, and figuring out what’s most important in his life, and how to resolve things with his estranged wife. And as we move into the second part of the story, there’s a lot in there dealing with poverty and a social movement towards dealing with food scarcity and equality. So, that’s a lot going on! All that sort of combines to make this semi-futuristic, bleakly funny, and charismatic series. Aided in large part by the visuals.”
