Creating A Comic In 24 Hours and the Crowdfunding Machine.
Creating a comic in 24 hours and a boost for indie comic creators!
Creating comic books can be a wonderful experience, which can both fulfilling and insightful. But have you ever created a comic book in 24 Hours? This past weekend, a group of creators and I joined together in an endeavor to do just that and it was one heck of an experiment! Let me tell you all about it.

Tales From Around The Fire - A 24 Hour Comic Book.
You might be wondering how exactly can you create a comic book in a single day? Well, creator Brian Wolf created a team of indie comic Avengers to assemble this project that began at 12pm on Saturday. As a group, we began with brainstorming a theme, page count, and other elements that make a comic what it can be. The others went on a livestream to do this, I had some input in the background due to prior engagements.
From there, in our group chat we tasked writers to create a story based in the theme, which happened to be Camp Fire Stories. So the other writers in the group, as well as myself were off to the races to get the work done to pass onto artists. Once in the hands of our various artists colleagues, the work moved to the letterers to finalize the book on Sunday noon sharp! Probably the most fun I’ve had creating a project in a while, and on the fly too! I’m hoping that we can do this again sometime as a nice test of our combined creative skills, which serves as the ultimate team work exercise. When it becomes available I’ll let you all know, as I’d love to share this with you all.
