Participants in the 24-Hour Comics Day event may submit copies of their comics
to the Ohio State University Cartoon Research Library to become a part of the
24-Hour Comics Day Collection. The form is available in
Participant Resources.
If you plan to host a 24HCD event and would like to be an official venue, you
must register by October 9th! Registrations received after October 9th will not
be added to the host list and will not be eligible for the 24HCD venue deals.
Good luck with your event!
24 Hours Comics Day sites have an opportunity to score some Bawls Guarana Energy
Drinks for their 24HCD event. You can find more information regarding this
offer
here.

The date has been set for this year's 24
Hour Comics Day. This year the event will be held on Saturday, October 18th.
We are now in the process of signing up host sites.
For those of you who may not yet know, this year's event is being administered
by
ComicsPRO, the Comics Professional Retail Organization.
Nat
Gertler has done an outstanding job getting this event to where it is
today. We hope that we as a group can continue to grow 24HCD. We will be seeking
more sponsorships this year for things such as food and drinks for the host
sites, art supplies and other things.
Nat
Gertler, founder of 24 Hour Comics and publisher of the About Comics
line, admitted that he was thrilled when
ComicsPRO approached him about taking over the event. "I have a lot
of respect for the individual retailers who founded
ComicsPRO, and the participation of comic book retailers – including
many
ComicsPRO members – has been key to 24 Hour Comics Day's success.
We'd had a number of fine people and organizations eager to help 24 Hour Comics
Day continue to grow, and I'd like to thank FX International, the Minnesota
Cartoonist Conspiracy, and Pittsburgh's Toonseum for their willingness and
passion in supporting comics creation."
"I'm proud of how quickly this event has grown, and look forward to seeing it
continue to grow with the additional abilities that
ComicsPRO brings. But the best part of not having to manage 24 Hour
Comics Day is that now I'm free to participate in 24 Hour Comics Day!"
