The Mozaik stripa Association from Makarska has successfully organized 10th edition of the comic book festival MaFest 2017. Over fifty strip artists from over the world exhibited their works in Meteor Hotel Congress Hall, where visitors had also the opportunity to see an exclusive exhibition of the legendary comic book artist Andrija Maurović. The busiest night of the festival was on Saturday, May 27th at the traditional fundraising auction. This year, organizers managed to collect 53,480 (approx. 7,200 EUR) thanks to the record sale of Grzegorz Rosiński and Jill Thompson works that were sold for 6,500 HRK (approx. 875 EUR). The entire amount will be donated for medical treatment of five-year old boy Mateo Sopta from Makarska.
