[PREVIEW] Hank Howard, Pizza Detective: The Inside Job #1 (July 8, 2026)

writer(s): Robert Venditti and David Lapham | artist [penciller & inker]: David Lapham | letterer: Dave Sharpe | cover artist: David Lapham | publishing company: Bad Idea Comics

synopsis: New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditt (SUPERMAN ‘78) and world-renowned comics legend David Lapham (STRAY BULLETS) join forces to deliver a must-read new entry in their striking new vision in the fight against crime.

Something’s rotten at Big Caligula’s Pizza, location #212 -- and it’s not just last week’s mozzarella. Cash tips have fallen off a cliff, and the question on everyone’s lips is, why? Has service really gone downhill, or is there something, or someone, more sinister to blame?

Corporate smells trouble, and they’ve called in their best man for the job. Enter, Hank Howard. Armed with a mind as sharp as a tack, nerves of steel, and an ironclad stomach, Hank’s about to dive into a mystery hotter than a fresh-baked pie and his only lead won't talk. Literally. It's the location's mascot, Biggie. The employees who don the oversized Roman Emperor garb are forbidden from talking in front of customers. Ruins the illusion for the kids.

Thankfully, Hank's not flying solo. Location #212 just happens to be the stomping grounds of Hank's old buddy, the pizza crust loving dog, Cali. Together, they’ll sniff out clues, chomp down leads, and uncover secrets that could rock the pizza world to its core.

Drawing: "Stable Genius" by Siegfried Woldhek pen & ink October 12, 2019

“Talented and well-practiced in every vice, a stranger to compassion or empathy, a liar and a cheat so complete in perfidy that he has elevated his dishonesty to hold it up as an ersatz moral principle. Violent, so long as he can order someone else to do the dirty work. Grotesque in body, graceless in action, in possession of a wounded self-regard so colossal as to smother any spark of grace. Treasonous, not only to country, but to every ally he has ever had, the poisoned fruit and rankest flower of racism and contempt for women, and utterly devoid of shame for his moral and spiritual bankruptcy. That is your leader. That is to whom you give your money. That is who you follow and laud. That is whose banner you willingly carry. Why? Because he is a mirror, not a lighthouse. You see yourselves in him. He is what you would be, if you had inherited money and could shed the last vestiges of conscience and shame. No, I do not “respect your choices,” nor do I admire your loyalty and dedication to this miserific, demoniac vision. You have demonstrated not only a lack of civic virtue, loyalty to the Republic and to the rule of law, but a willingness to engage in violence and sedition at his slightest expressed wish. And you will never, ever admit you were wrong. Because you see your dark, twisted, resentful dreams in him. And to renounce him is to renounce yourselves.”
