24 Hour Comics Day in Library

For the second year in a row, PNCA’s Library is site for Portland’s only officially hosted 24 Hour Comics Day.

Each brave participant will attempt to complete their own 24 page comic in a 24 hour time period (October 20-21, from 10am to 10am).

Cartoonist Scott McCloud started doing 24 Hour Comics Days in 1990, but the event didn’t become an official, international experience until 2004.

The event has grown every year. There are now 80 officially hosted sites spread out in 30 US states and 14 international countries, as well as numerous events happening in private homes and dark alleys. See the official 24 Hour Comics website for more details about the event.

Special Surprise Guests will be attending...

Special thanks to LAIKA Entertainment for their generous support, and thanks to Bridge City Comics, Floating World Comics, Art Media and Hot Lips Pizza for their additional support.
