I recently read Get Jiro!, the “foodie” graphic novel by chef and travel show host Anthony Bourdain. I wasn’t familiar with artist Langdon Foss’ work prior to this, but really enjoyed it. Here’s a splash page depicting a busy kitchen in one of the antagonist’s many corporate restaurants:
Foss has that clean line style down perfect. His work reminds me a lot of the late, great Seth Fisher.
Bourdain said in an interview he was looking for a style similar to Fisher’s. He was a fan which made me feel better about the book. When I first heard about it, I didn’t know Bourdain had a love for indie and underground comics. This was before I saw the episode where he pals around with Harvey Pekar in Cleveland.
