The Man from Mars

Summer 1968.

A veteran with a past finds a clean slate when he's partnered with a boxer turned artist to make a comic book in just 5 days.

As the unlikely duo race against their deadline, temperatures and tempers rise, and hidden desires boil over.

In comic books, true romance may be stranger than science fiction.
