announces this year's date for 24 Hour Comics Day (24HCD) will be

24 Hour Comics Day is an annual challenge for cartoonists to produce a
24-page comic book written, drawn, and completed in 24 consecutive
hours. ComicsPRO, the comic book specialty retailer trade organization,
recently assumed the organizational reins for 24HCD with the
enthusiastic endorsement of the event's founder, Nat Gertler, publisher
of About Comics.
Over the years, the 24 Hour comic book challenge has thwarted and
rewarded such comics luminaries as Scott McCloud, Dave Sim, Neil Gaiman,
Kevin Eastman and many others. On 24 Hour Comics Day, creators of all
ages and levels of skill and experience gather at one of the
participating sites to encourage each other in completing this creative
comics marathon.
On August 31st, 1990, Scott McCloud (Understanding Comics), originator
of the 24 Hour comic concept, completed his first creative marathon. On
April 24th, 2004 Nat Gertler organized the first 24HCD bringing together
legions of participants all over the world in this annual event. In the
years since, thousands have tried and many have succeeded in creating
their own 24 hour comics.
"Organizing 24 Hour Comics Day furthers the mission of ComicsPRO," said
Rick Lowell of Casablanca Comics in Portland Maine, who is also a
ComicsPRO board member. "By opening our stores to this 24HCD marathon,
we're attracting attention to the amazing comics medium while also
providing spaces for cartoonists to show their works in progress to all
interested viewers. We hope you'll sharpen your pencils for all the
action on October 18 for 24 Hour Comics Day!"
