The Italian-American Christmas Eve tradition comes to life in this popular online comic strip collected here for the first time, complete with a foreword by Steve Geppi and a cookbook for serving up your own Feast!
A little salty, a little racy, the Feast of the Seven Fishes is always honest. From the moment it debuted in September of 2004, the online comic strip developed a loyal audience who rabidly followed the romantic and culinary adventures of an Italian-American family preparing for and celebrating the traditional Christmas Eve seafood Feast. Here, for the first time, the entire run of the 1983 storyline is collected, along with a cookbook section detailing recipes for creating your own Feast, as well as never-before-seen strips and behind-the-scenes information.
"What a great book! And hey, I'm not even Italian, although The Feast of the Seven Fishes makes me wish I were! Heartiest congratulations to Robert & Shannon Tinnell, Ed Piskor, and especially Alex Saviuk, a great friend and an equally great artist." - Stan Lee, POW Entertainment, MARVEL COMICS founder and creator of Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-men, The Hulk and too many others to mention!
"Don't miss this charming tale from one of the foremost comic writers working today." - Jessie Lilley, MondoCult.com
"...an amazingly human, touchingly down-to-earth story. Add artist Alex Saviuk and all the great Italian recipes into the mix and you've got an authentic experience you won't soon forget. Bravo!" - Scoop (scoop.diamondgalleries.com)
