Today we bring you a conversation with Julio Anta and Jacoby Salcedo, the duo behind the fantastic YA graphic novel, Frontera. This interview took place on October 15, 2025, via Zoom. Before we begin the interview, we share a bit of background on both Anta and Salcedo as well as about the graphic novel we are focusing on today. After the conversation with the author and artist, we share our thoughts on the conversation, the book as a whole, and our season’s broader focus on border stories.
