24 Hours From Q-Town 2015: HOUR 4

Posted on October 3, 2015 by Chuck Larntz

Hi Kids!

Want to take a minute (or an hour) to talk about our wonderful sponsors, without whom 24 Hour Comics Day in Albuquerque would not be possible.

SHARED UNIVERSE, our home for 24 Hour Comics Day this year. Thank you, Sheryl for giving us a place to play.

Our old pal, Henry, at Lobo Anime & Comics has been supportig us since we started this 7 years ago.

Mike at Astro-Zombies has been a friend of mine for almost 20 years, and a supporter of 7000 BC since we started this.

Drew and Josh, who happen to be twin sons, have avidly supported us since they started their shop 4 years ago.

Matt and Greg, also brothers, but not twins (I don’t think), at Age Of Comics are among our newest supporters.

Margaret at Old West Comics & Games is our other newest supporter, and she donated lots of stuff. More about that later…

Our old pal Jim Lynch of WonderFunders, not a comic shop, but a crowd creating comics organization, who has overseen the creation of several comics anthologies, bringing together writers and artists from all over the world, is one of our most faithful supporters. If you have a hankering to create comics, Jim’s your man!

And finally, Candy and company at Winning Coffee Co. has generously donated coffee and hot water for tea for as long as we have been doing this, contributing the fuel that keeps our creators creating!

So thanks to all of our sponsors for their support!

Oh look, that took a whole hour, so I’ll be back with HOUR 5, soon, with specifics of what these fine folks have donated to us.

Be Well,

Your pal,

Chuck

Hi Kids!

Yep, we’re back and coming at you from SHARED UNIVERSE, blogging live, like the past 7 years.

Got a late start, so I’m a bit behind the curve, hence the hours 1-3…

We have a smaller, more intimate group this year, and a long way to go, so here’s a couple of pics of the not so ensuing masses, and our fabulous prize table!

It’s ON!

Back soon!

Your pal,

Chuck

24 Hours From Q-Town 2014: The Real, Actual, It’s Over Now, END

Posted on October 5, 2014 by Chuck Larntz

Hi Kids!

Well, true to form, Jeff finished right at the wire again. I think he’s done this 5 of the last 6 years I’ve been doing this, and Boy Howdy! this comic is a beaut! Seriously, I think he finished at 11:58… I so hope he does this one in full color for publication…

It’s called “Hear There Be” and it’s destined to be another Jeff Benham fine art classic.

Well, just see for yourself!

And with that, that’s that.

Thanks again to all of our sponsors. You all made this a top notch event and we couldn’t have done it without you!

And an especially enthusiastic THANK YOU to our pal, Gene Bustamante, and the crew at KABOOM Test Labs for giving us a permanent home for the future 24 Hour Comics Days.

See you all next year, right here!

Your pal, and all of us at 7000 BC,

Chuck

24 Hours From Q-Town 2014: Hour 23: The End, Almost…

Posted on October 5, 2014 by Chuck Larntz

Hi Kids!

The final raffles went off and here are the winners:

Joey turned out to be a big winner, with a copy of The Submariner hardcover graphic novel from Lobo Anime & Comics, and a copy of Jeff’s former 24 Hour Comic, Nance & Cianu at the Park, when Jeff drew his own name. Joey was first to speak up, so Jeff gave it to him (and graced the cover with his autograph).

Next, we had Kayla winning the final Star Trek SkeleTrek figure, BORG DRONE from Comic Warehouse.

And finally, Anna won the final prize, a hardcover graphic novel, “Transformers: Primal Scream” from Lobo Anime & Comics.

Next stop: The real END…

Your pal,

Chuck
