Chew is an American comic book series about a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agent, Tony Chu, who solves crimes by receiving psychic impressions from whatever he consumes as food, no matter what. It is written by John Layman[1] with art by Rob Guillory[2] and published by Image Comics across the storylines Taster's Choice, International Flavor, Just Desserts, Flambé, Major League Chew, Space Cakes, Bad Apples, Family Recipes, Chicken Tenders, Blood Puddin’, The Last Suppers, and Sour Grapes. The series has won two Eisner Awards and two Harvey Awards.
Chew's first issue was released in June 2009, and the series concluded with its 60th issue in November 2016,[3] with a crossover one-shot, I Hate Fairyland – I Hate Image, following in May 2017.
In 2020, two follow-up projects were released – a three-issue crossover with Outer Darkness (another comic series written by Layman), and the beginning of a spin-off series titled Chu.
