IT’S-A YOU! MARIO!
You know, sometimes we wish we were plumbers. For instance, when our dishwasher makes that weird noise. Or we spring a leak beneath that new drywall. Or when we get the bill from our actual plumber. At that time, it’d also be nice if coins popped out when we punched bricks, but alas, that’s not going to happen.
Don the vestments of your favorite video game plumber, Mario, with this Super Mario Hooded Robe. The hood has an M embroidered on it like his cap and the back, “MARIO,” in case anybody was confused. Best part? It’s impossible to have plumber’s butt with this robe. And, no, we do not need the action shots of you trying.
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
