Skim

Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki, the celebrated cousins behind This One Summer, reunited with writer Mat Schifferstein for Skim, a single-issue comic published by Sherpa in 2010. This poignant story follows a teenage girl navigating the complexities of high school, friendship, and first love, with Jillian Tamaki’s expressive, delicate artwork capturing the quiet intensity of adolescent emotion. Though a brief entry, Skim stands as a resonant character study from a creative team renowned for their sensitive portrayals of youth.
