Discover a bright new star of Mexican comics in this romantic and thrilling tale, stuffed with adventure and delicious food. Winner of Mexicos first ever National Young Graphic Novel Award! Rolandos job was crushing his soul... and then it crushed his hand. Now he can barely get out of the house, marathoning TV and struggling to find meaning. Nera is a restless spirit who loves to taste everything life can offer, but sleeps in a broken-down food truck and cant see a way to make her dreams come true. When their paths cross at a raucous rock show, the magical night seems to last forever. Together they throw caution to the wind, fix up the truck, and hit the road for a wild adventure of biker gangs, secret herbs, mystical visions, and endless possibilities. But have they truly found the spice of life? Or has Rolando bitten off more than he can chew? Onion Skin became a sensation in its native land for its twisty narrative, captivating characters, thrilling action, and delicious artwork. Now making his English-language debut, Edgar Camacho serves up a romantic feast that will leave readers with full hearts and full bellies.

Pickpick

Job dissatisfaction, a desire for freedom, and a shared love of music bring two strangers together. A food truck business and a romance take off, but it looks like evil forces are against them. The nonlinear storytelling is a bit jarring but the art is warm and expressive—a good match for this uplifting tale. A fast-paced graphic novel from Mexico, translated from Spanish by the author. #latinx #comics in #translation

Tomato slices fly from the back of a fleeing food truck and obstruct the vision of an evil guy in pursuit. Some panels from the opening sequence show the slapstick humour in this Mexican graphic novel.

KathyWheeler That made me laugh. 😄 2y
Lindy @KathyWheeler I can imagine this graphic novel as an animated film. 😁 2y
