What's a 24 hour comic?

As explained by its inventor Scott McCloud, the objective of a 24 comic is...

"To create a complete 24 page comic book in 24 continuous hours. That means everything: Story, finished art, lettering, colors (if you want 'em), paste-up, everything! Once pen hits paper, the clock starts ticking. 24 hours later, the pen lifts off the paper, never to descend again. Even proofreading has to occur in the 24 hour period. No sketches, designs, plot summaries or any other kind of direct preparation can precede the 24 hour period."

This is a crazy big task. So challenging, I wont even boter going into all that you have to consider to do a comic in a single day.

I completed my first 24 hour comic last year at LoneStar Comics in Dallas. It was a great experience, yet when I was done I felt like I had run a marathon. You can see the results at my site, where I've just posted Stream of Confidence, my 24 hour comic.

Enjoy.
