During high school, as a request from my closest friends, I began a sci-fi-fantasy comic called Marko's Unbeliveable Story (MUS), which starred the exaggerated versions of ourselves. Spanning 3 years and over 300 pages, it is the greatest artistic endeavor for me to date.

A "Family portrait" of the heroes of MUS, drawn three years
after ending the comic as a thank you for my friends
