New York City, late 1970s. In the world of THE KITCHEN, the Irish gangs of Hell's Kitchen rule the neighborhood, bringing terror to the streets and doing the dirty work for the Italian Mafia-but after the leaders are locked up in prison, it's up to their wives to keep running the rackets. And once they get a taste of the fast life and easy money, it won't be easy to stop. Collects THE KITCHEN #1-8.
