Overview
The man who built Isom's iconic suit gets his origin. From Smuggler's Stitch writer Carrow Brown—introducing Cedric Guacho: costume engineer, professional rival, and the accidental escape artist heading off-world.
Cedric Gaucho is the best costume designer in Florespark—the engineer who built Isom's iconic suit, a former wrestling-suit specialist with a math-obsessed mind for protective fabric and a gift for making “engineered” look “iconic.” Donald Hertle is his rival, a smug poacher in an ill-fitting suit who keeps stealing Cedric's clients. What starts as professional jealousy escalates into something neither of them saw coming, and ends with one of them in a high-tech off-world cell on a moon ringed by three more—and the other quietly designing a costume for a hero named Luke Graves.
A grounded character origin with a sci-fi punchline. Featuring Cedric Gaucho, a character created by Rippaverse founder Eric July. An entry-point Rippaverse book that introduces a behind-the-scenes architect of the line and seeds the line's wider cosmic side. A standalone entry point—no prior Rippaverse reading required.
From writer Carrow Brown—Yaira: Frost & Ruin co-writer, Dirty Deeds, Twin Tricks, Saoirse: Exclave, Fontaino: Exclave, and the Rippaverse novel Dirty Deeds: Jailbreak—with interior art by Igor Teixeira (Brazil). Colors by Pedro Estouco.
