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 \u0026amp; 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).
