Early Development Work

Dear Samar is a romance/drama comic I've been working on since high school. It has been through many changes and rewrites since 2017, but Iā€™m glad the world gets to see it now. Dear Samar has become a passion project of mine, as well as an incredible learning experience, so I hope you all enjoy it too.
