Rose & Bourdain Go Back Long Before Hungry Ghosts

Joel Rose has been working in comics for a while. He was an editor for the failed DC imprint Paradox Press in the mid-‘90s and has also teamed up with famous chef Anthony Bourdain on Vertigo’s Get Jiro GN. He and Bourdain are currently teamed up again on the debut title from Dark Horse Comics’ Berger Books imprint. The duo's limited series Hungry Ghosts is a four-issue anthology series that features art by the likes of: Vanesa Del Rey, Leonardo Manco, Alberto Ponticelli, Paul Pope and Mateus Santolouco along with others. Rose and Bourdain met in 1982 when Bourdain was still a line cook. He sent Rose a mock up of a comic book in the mail and when Rose responded he just showed up on his door step. Rose published Bourdain’s first story, Chef’s Night Out and helped him with Kitchen Confidential. That led to the two eventually creating Get Jiro and the prequel that followed. Hungry Ghosts was supposed to have happened at DC but that never happened so the samurai horror project ended up coming to Berger’s Dark Horse imprint. Each issue contains two stories and after the initial run the team have even more stories to tell if sales are strong. They are also working on a few as of yet unnamed projects.
