Foodies Rejoice for a First Look at RARE FLAVOURS #1
A Sinister Cross-Section of Food, Culture, & Indian Folklore from Ram V & Filipe Andrade
BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at RARE FLAVOURS #1, the premier issue of the brand new series from the Eisner, Harvey, and Ringo Award-nominated team behind the critically acclaimed series The Many Deaths of Laila Starr, writer Ram V (Detective Comics, These Savage Shores), artist Filipe Andrade (Captain Marvel), and letterer AndWorld Design, in this painstakingly prepared series for fans of food, art, and the celebration of life, available this September.
Meet Rubin Baksh, a demonic Rakshasa with a down-to-earth dream of becoming the next Anthony Bourdain. To make his dream come true, Rubin enlists Mo, a down-on-his-luck filmmaker, to document the world-renowned cuisine of India and the people behind the glorious, flavourful food. But little does Mo know that there’s more to Rubin than meets the eye, and the mortals play a darker role in the show than they were prepared for…
RARE FLAVOURS #1 features a main cover by series artist Filipe Andrade, with variants by Fabío Moon (Daytripper), Anand RK (Blue in Green), and David Mack (Kabuki).
