UCHUU DAISAKUSEN
The original name for Star Trek in Japan was “Uchuu Daisakusen,” which translates to something like “Cosmic Operation.” This colorful Star Trek Tokyo Invasion pattern was inspired by artwork created exclusively for the Japanese market when TOS debuted there in the 1970s.
Star Wars may be more popular in Japan, but we’re here to give a shout-out to Star Trek in Japan and its crazy cool aesthetics. With neon cyan and nuclear green, the design on these pants makes a statement of its own. And, if you’re the Kirk in the equation, you’ll never have to worry about losing your pants with these suckers around.
Kitchen Nightmares!
On a dark, haunted night, a Russian oligarch dares a circle of international chefs to play the samurai game of 100 Candles--where each storyteller spins a terrifying tale of ghosts, demons and unspeakable beings--and prays to survive the challenge.
Inspired by the Japanese Edo period game of Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, Hungry Ghosts reimagines the classic stories of yokai, yorei, and obake, all tainted with the common thread of food.
First course: With bad consequence, a ramen chef refuses to help a beggar, and a band of pirates get more (and less) than they were bargaining for after their encounter with a drowning woman turns ghastly.
Hungry Ghosts is cooked up by the infamous author and chef, Anthony Bourdain (Kitchen Confidential, Emmy-Award winning TV star of Parts Unknown) and acclaimed novelist Joel Rose (Kill, Kill, Faster, Faster, back again from their New York Times #1 best seller, Get Jiro!). Joining them this issue are stellar artists Alberto Ponticelli and Vanesa Del Rey, with amazing color by Jose Villarrubia, and a drop-dead cover by Paul Pope
