Join FFF Melbourne on Saturday, October 3rd, starting at noon all the way to Sunday, October 4th, at noon for 24 Hour Comic Book Day! As the name suggests, your challenge is to create a 24-page comic in 24 hours. How you choose to do it is up to you; we can't wait to see what stories you'll bring to life.
Basic materials and comic paper wil be provided, but feel free to bring whatever supplies you need to draw. We'll provide pizza, soda, water and a few snacks, but feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks as well.
You don't have to work on a 24 Hour Comic Day comic, but you're welcome to join us if you are drawing and not distracting the other artists. It should be a great chance for local talented creators to inspire each other to create a 24 Hour Comic or some other cool art.
