24-Hour Comics Day is this Saturday ….. the 4th of October.   And over 70 venues are participating …. from 16 different countries …. and 4 different continents.   It is truly an international event!

A few years ago, the 24-Hour Comics Day planning committee decided to set the event date as the first Saturday in October.    This was done to standardize the event and help people with their planning.  Unfortunately, sometimes this can cause conflicts.  This year, for example, 24-Hour Comics Day falls on Yom Kippur – one of the holiest days of the Jewish tradition.

If you can’t participate this Saturday, please realize that you can participate on another day ….. as long as it’s fairly close to the 4th.    Venues and online participants are always able to schedule different days …. other than the official day … and still be included.  For instance, Mission Comics in San Francisco decided to hold their event on Saturday, September the 27th.

All we ask is that you notify us when you are planning on holding the event so that we can publicize it and officially count you.
