Yes, Mark’s full name is “Marchosias”, but he’s not the goetic demon of that name (just named after him, if demons can have… well… “god”parents)

I wrote and drew this comic pretty quickly on a whim back in March 2020, right before covid became, like, a huge and serious deal (at least here on the West Coast.) The timing of it feels a little funny now… not bad exactly, but it’s about anxiety and doom, though I didn’t write it to really be any sort of balm or through any big-headedness that it would Do Good In A Difficult Time. It’s just what I felt like writing at the time.

Since this is a small comic, it’s 1.5 in the series–and still essential reading, I think, since PDW shows up in the next Mark Hardy comic.
