24-Hour Comics Day is Back!
For those comic book enthusiasts, mini comics artists, and illustrators alike, this Saturday, Oct. 20, marks the annual 24-Hour Comics Day. The event was created by cartoonist Scott McCloud (Zot!, Understanding Comics) back in 1990 on a dare from a friend. Years later, it is going stronger than ever.
Participating comic book makers have 24 consecutive hours to create a full 24-page comic. Local stores like Challengers Comics and Conversation (1845 N. Western Ave.), Third Coast comics (6234 N. Broadway St.) and Graham Crackers comics (5443 N. Broadway St.) host 24-hour long events for participants and fans. To register for store festivities head to one of these locations. Store events vary, but most are open the entire time ready with supplies, snacks and a place to work on your project.
The 24 hours begin at 10am Saturday, so get your ideas ready and your pencils sharpened for this marathon event.
