24 Hour Comics Day Partial Wrap
:: Posted by Bryan @ 10/09/2006 01:17:00 AM Reports are starting to trickle in from Saturday's "24 Hour Comics" event --several groups and comics shops across Canada participated in the marathon creation of 24-page comic books over the course of one day. I've only seen a few reports so far:
- from Elsar Comics in BC
- The Edmonton Journal reports on the event at Happy Harbor Comics and the young turks who particpated, noting that shop owner Jay Bardyla, who will again compile all the comics from the event into a book and donate $1 to the Alberta Literacy Foundation (he raised more than $1,600 last year).
I'm sure more are on the way and that we will be reading the results in webcomic form over the next week or so.
Congrats to all who survived the event as well as to those who gave it the old "team comics try."
*The other big comics-related event on the weekend was Pop Montreal, featuring some visiting U.S. and French cartoonists (Killofer's book is at least set in Quebec), which has apparently led to some "tensions ... between certain factions of the local comics scene" whatever that means (via Chartattack)Labels: comics retailers, comicshoptalk
