Whims of a Marquis

By Casey Bohn

Okay, I really have no idea what's going on here. In four pages we are told that the king needs a man to guide him (specifically a marquis), a marquis mysteriously appears, demands an elixter made by a monk, drinks it, gets super powers, and then it ends. What?

I think it might have been created to use as many M words as possible, but even then it doesn't succeed that well as Bohn could have used loads of other words to make it more magnificent (or whatever).

The art is nice enough, I really like the marquis' hair, and the bottomless black pits for eyes the king has, but I'm just kind of confused by the existence of the whole thing.
