Kiss Machine Presents... Skim
Words by Mariko Tamaki
Art by Jillian Tamaki
It's 1992. The jocks are suicidal, the popular girls are in mourning, and the goths are bored.
It seems like everyone but 16-year-old suburban witch Skim Takota, and her best friend Lisa, is freaking out. It's a weird time to fall in love, but a witch has to do what a witch has to do.
The second Kiss Machine Presents... publication is a 24-page excerpt from Skim's diary--a gothic romance for geeky goths and the people who love them.
