Book Overview
Creating a twenty-four page comic book story normally involves months ofwork. On April 24, 2004 -- 24 Hour Comics Day -- hundreds ofcartoonists each tried to create a complete 24-page comics story in 24 straighthours. Some were sequestered away in their homes, working privately, whileothers were working in the middle of comic book shops, creating comics asperformance art. Some were big-time comics creators, while others wereenthusiastic amateurs who hadn't drawn 24 pages of comics before in theirlife.The founder of 24 Hour Comics Day, Nat Gertler, delves into the results andpulls out twenty interesting examples. These comics show the quality, diversity, energy, and even grace of the 24 hour comic.The 24 hour comic was invented by Scott McCloud, comics' leadingtheoretician. He created this challenge as a creative exercise for himself and afriend, never dreaming what it would blossom into. Now, with hundreds ofcartoonists having taken the challenge and tens of thousands of comic pageshaving been created, it has become a rite of passage for young creators and asource of rejuvenation for older ones.
