Congratulations to all of the venues around the world who hosted a 24-Hour Comics Day event! And congratulations to all of the creators who took the 24-Hour Comics Day challenge–even if you didn’t finish your comic this year. Great work!

24HCD Venues: if you HOSTED a 24HCD event this year, don’t forget to email your total participation count. Just send the number of people who tried the challenge; you don’t need to send individual names and you can count them even if they didn’t finish their comics.

24HCD Participants: if you COMPLETED all 24 pages in 24 hours and your venue isn’t sending in a copy of your comic to the main 24-Hour Comics Day collection (not all venues do), please send in a copy of your completed comic!

You can use the form on this web page marked “Cover Letter to Submit Your Comics to the Official 24-Hour Comics Day Collection.” Mail that cover letter, along with a copy of your completed 24-page comic to the address on the form.

Thank you!

DONE!!

Well.. the final lines have been inked… out of 15 starting artist 9 survived to finish their creations…

It has been an extremely long 24 hours with a gambit of emotions running throughout the course of the day… anticipation to get it going…. determination to finish the job… agony of defeat for some… and the thrill of accomplishment for others!!

They came ready to go.. full of energy…the laughs kept going until the wee hours of the morning and then the silence hit.. when everyone decided it was time to work hard on getting the books done… when the sun started to rise, the atmosphere in the shop became fun and light due to the fact that they knew they would be going home soon. One by one the projects completed and weary artist after weary artist bid farewell as they carefully drove to their beds putting this years 24 Hour Comics Day Challenge behind them.

Here is a small sample of this years books, but check our web site at www.4colorfantasies.com on Monday October 11, 2010 to see the complete books!!!

This is Chris Brady from 4 Color Fantasies saying thanks to everyone that watched on our Ustream and read the blogs.. stop by and say hi sometime!!!

And then there was John

Three years ago a small publishing company approached me about doing our 24 Hour Comics Challenge and had their two artists come on down. This is where I met John Narcomey who at the time was the Creative Director. He and I hit it off from the moment we met, but he is a person that you have to meet to understand. The book he did the first year at our store was Cholo Libre and this year he decide to follow it up with the sequel Cholo Libre in To Hell and Back. No matter what I say about this book it can’t be enough so here is John!!
