Edgar Camacho is the creator behind Onion Skin, the winner of Mexico's first-ever National Young Graphic Novel Award. Top Shelf Comix, an imprint of IDW Publishing, is releasing Onion Skin on May 25 for its English debut, and CBR has an exclusive preview of the award-winner.
The preview features Rolando as he fills Nera in on how he intentionally injured his arm to get out of his meaningless job. Nera gives Rolando a hard time, though he admits to always following the rules and never throwing caution to the wind. However, Nera puts this to the test by having Rolando toss away a t-shirt she gave him earlier. After completing this task, Nera tells Rolando that he isn't as stiff as he appears, with the preview teasing even more adventures for the duo.
Onion Skin joins The Delicacy under IDW's Top Shelf Comix imprint. The preview of Onion Skin can be found below.
