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!!!

Ok.. only 4 hours past his self imposed deadline, Julian Aguilera just finished here at 4am. His Vampire & Werewolf comic called Tooth & Nail will be posted on our website later this week. Congrats to Julian and Alan for participating for the third year in a row!!

Ayodele Elegba, CEO of COMICPANEL and organiser of the 24 Hour Comics Day is so happy at the success of the 24 Hour event that began almost 4 months ago. “The turn out was very encouraging. Next Year is going to be BIGGER and BETTER” he says. Watch out for more about the Nigerian Comic Industry on www.comicpanel.net.

This year we are seeing a few new participants here at 4 Color. Most of them are recruits from previous year participants, which is how Chris Baird found out about us and decided to get it a try.

His book he is working on is about a prisoner who is a witness to nothing. The main character is a prisoner who sees a his new neighbor being brought in. Sometime in the night the new guy breaks out and murders his guards and the main character is questioned by the warden, but when he doesn’t have the answers they want….

The thing that is making this book most ambisious is the fact that he is watercoloring his book too!!

Hope he has time to finish it…..
