Jacoby Salcedo, is a comic book illustrator who is based in Olympia, Washington. He is the artist of the DC Comics YA graphic novel THIS LAND IS OUR LAND: A BLUE BEETLE STORY, with frequent collaborator Julio Anta. He is the co-creator of the Harper Collins YA graphic novel, FRONTERA with Anta. Jacoby is also the artist on Dark Horse mini-series, IT’S ONLY TEENAGE WASTELAND with writer Curt Pires. Jacoby has also been featured in multiple comic anthologies such as DC’s Legion of Bloom, Graphic Mundi’s Covid Chronicles, and the GLAAD award winning Young Men in Love.
Q: How long have you been an artist? What specifically drew you into the direction of working on comics?
A: I’ve been drawing comics professionally for 5 years, but I’ve been drawing my whole life and always knew I wanted to pursue something in the arts as a career, and it actually was at OCC where I discovered comics. What I really love about comics was the storytelling through art, like I think it’s such a unique and straightforward form of art.
Q: What was the process of honing in on your skills? Schooling, self taught, etc.
A: When I was learning to draw a lot of it was YouTube tutorials honestly, but when it came to learning how to draw comics, I just read a bunch of comic books and tried my best understand how to construct a comic page. I was lucky enough to be able to go to School of Visual Arts in New York for college and it was there that I truly got educated on how to draw comics.
Q: Do you believe your ethnic and cultural identity play a part in the types of projects that you work on? Or just your work in general? If yes, how so?
A: Oh definitely yeah. A lot of the stories I’ve worked on will have the main character be Mexican. I think being Mexican, I’m able to bring a nuance to the stories that maybe other artists with different backgrounds couldn’t. Plus working with my frequent collaborator Julio Anta, he does an amazing amount of research, so with the both of us we hopefully make an authentic representation for these characters.
Q: What projects are you currently working on?
A: Currently I’m finishing up a Middle Grade graphic novel called Paco and Tiny, which won’t be out til 2027. I also do have another book that might be out before that though, but I can’t say what just yet hehe.
Q: What would be your ideal or dream project?
A: I feel fortunate enough to be able to do the stories I’ve been doing, but the one that I’ll always want to do is Daredevil. Truly the best character ever and he was one of the first comics I read when I was getting into comics.
Q: Any words of advice for other folks trying to get into working on comics?
A: The best thing I can recommend for getting into comics is make them and share them. It’s not the greatest advice, but editors want to see that you’ve made comics and also it’s how you can gain readers. Social media is annoying and draining sometimes haha, but unfortunately it’s the best way to get your work out there and have people discover your work.

El Deafo by Cece Bell
Starting at a new school is scary, especially with a giant hearing aid strapped to your chest! At her old school, everyone in Cece’s class was deaf. Here, she’s different. She’s sure the kids are staring at the Phonic Ear, the powerful aid that will help her hear her teacher. Too bad it also seems certain to repel potential friends. Then Cece makes a startling discovery. With the Phonic Ear, she can hear her teacher not just in the classroom, but anywhere her teacher is in the school—in the hallway . . . in the teacher’s lounge . . . in the bathroom! This is power. Maybe even superpower! Cece is on her way to becoming El Deafo, Listener for All. But the funny thing about being a superhero is that it’s just another way of feeling different . . . and lonely. Can Cece channel her powers into finding the thing she wants most: a true friend?
El Deafo is a book that will entertain children, give hearing-impaired children a hero of their own, and challenge others to consider an experience unlike their own. Like other great works for children, it provides the opportunity for young readers to consider how they would act or react in a similar situation, helping to build empathy and understanding through the power of story.

Nightlights / Hicotea by Lorena Alvarez
Nightlights: Every night, tiny stars appear out of the darkness in little Sandy’s bedroom. She catches them and creates wonderful creatures to play with until she falls asleep, and in the morning brings them back to life in the whimsical drawings. When a mysterious new girl appears at school, Sandy’s drawings are noticed for the first time… but Morfie’s fascination with Sandy’s talent soon turns into something far more sinister.
Hicotea: On a school field trip to the river, Sandy wanders away from her classmates and discovers an empty turtle shell. Peeking through the dark hole, she suddenly finds herself within a magical realm. Filled with sculptures, paintings and books, the turtle’s shell is a museum of the natural world. But one painting is incomplete, and the turtle needs Sandy’s help to finish it. (Luna Z’s pick)
