New York, 2026. A corporation is destroying people's minds and bodies through chemicals hidden in mass-market pizzas. But a secret society has been protecting the art of authentic cuisine for centuries, fighting against those who seek to corrupt it for pure profit.
With this issue zero entirely dedicated to pizza and signed by two legendary Marvel authors, C.B. Cebulski and Giuseppe Camuncoli, the masters of food become the heroes of a new ItaliaSquisita series: S.P.I.C.E. WARS.
The great Neapolitan pizzaiolo Enzo Coccia and Wylie Dufresne, one of New York's most renowned chefs, together with the award-winning Giorgia Caporuscio, are the protagonists of a comic book that tells the story of American pizza in a completely unprecedented way. Between ancient and new traditions, under the threat of industrial chemistry and profit at all costs, the heroes of well-made food will face a devious enemy ready to do anything, even turn pizza lovers into zombies.
After telling the story of great Italian cuisine through magazines, books, and one of the most followed YouTube channels in the world, ItaliaSquisita makes its debut in the comic book universe in collaboration with Foodmetti, the workshop that brings food and comics together to create events, performances, and publishing works.
The comic book is on sale on our shop for € 9.90 (shipping included) and comes as a free gift if you purchase our books, find out more.
During Lucca Comics & Games, on the occasion of the launch of S.P.I.C.E. WARS issue zero, authors C.B. Cebulski and Giuseppe Camuncoli will be available for a signing session right after the presentation.
