Celebrate Spanish Heritage Month With These Three Comic Creators At Oni Press

It’s Spanish Heritage Month and we have some comics creators to share with you from Oni Press. These comics are each by Spanish creators and have a wide range of genres from supernatural to romance to coming of age and are either available now or will be releasing in the next few months. Personally, I’m really interested in Season of the Bruja Vol. 1 when it comes out because I love a good magical story. Check out these titles and learn more about the creators behind them below.

Chef’s Kiss (Available Now) where things really heat up in the kitchen in this queer adult graphic novel from creator Jarrett Melendez – a longtime fan of food and cooking, Jarrett spent a lot of his time in kitchens, oftentimes as a paid professional! Jarrett is a regular contributor to Bon Appetit and Food52, and is the author of The Comic Kitchen, a fully illustrated, comic-style cookbook. When not cooking and writing about food, Jarrett usually writes comic books and has contributed to the Ringo-nominated All We Ever Wanted, Full Bleed, and Murder Hobo: Chaotic Neutral.

Wild! Or So I Was Born To Be, V1 (releasing November 22, 2022)  is the coming-of-age roller derby-action debut from creator Cristian Castelo. Cristian resides in Daly City, CA, with his dog, Chicken, and his uncle Jorge. He graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2017 with a BFA in printmaking. When he isn't drawing comics, he is likely to be heard screaming at the TV while playing video games or running around the streets of San Francisco.

Season of the Bruja Vol. 1 (on sale December 6, 2022) follows a young woman as she comes into her magical abilities and faces reemergent threats from the past. Season of the Bruja is from Portland creator Aaron Durán who has written stories for Dark Horse Comics, Image Comics, and Activision.  Season of the Bruja features stunning cover art from celebrated artist and three-time Eisner winner David Aja.
