If you are planning to host 24-Hour Comics Day, please register here:

24-Hour Comics Day is an annual international celebration of comics creation. On this day, creative folks take on the 24 hour comics challenge: to create a 24 page comic book story, normally months worth of work, in 24 straight hours.

Usually participants gather at official event sites including comic book stores, schools, and libraries. And others take part in private gatherings, and many work on their own.

However, this year, due to the novel coronavirus (covid-19), all the official event sites will be online. (In other words, the venues will host artists online using Zoom, Facebook Rooms, Discord, Google Live, or any other type of video conferencing platform).

Also, we recommend that you join a new Facebook group that was created by JF Koh to help hosts get online. https://www.facebook.com/groups/24hour.comics.

In this group, you can get guidance from other hosts to make sure that you are creating the best online experience for your participants.

Every year since 2004 this event has taken place. The thousands of participants who have created tens of thousands of pages of original art have included the young and the old, people with decades of professional comics creation experience and those who have never tried to draw a panel before, at locations on at least five continents.

The event date for 2020 is SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3rd. Start times for individual event locations vary. Registration for venues has started! Please register here!
