SELAMAT KPD KOMIKUS INDONESIA! ------------ --------- --------- 24 Hour Comics Day Highlights 2006 stories chosen
December 18th 2006 I've just announced the creative line-up for 24 Hour Comics Day Highlights 2006, listed in the January edition of Previews which hits stores this week. Frazer Irving, Britain's National Comics Award-winning artist currently working on Marvel's new Inhumans miniseries Silent War, depicts the violent mayhem involved in 24 Hour Comics Day, which he participated in at Comic-Kazi in Alberta. Jeremy Bear, who participated at home in California, brings us "Cubicle". It's a dramatic tale of a man struggling with an odd conspiracy or is he? Tita Larasati lets us in on her life as a foreign student in The Netherlands in "Transition" , drawn at the Lambiek comicstore in Amsterdam. Spooky Doll Kids creator Roseline Lau, working at the Artrage event in Fremantle, Australia, offers the delightful anthropomorphic tale "Caterpillar Crawler". Edward J. Grug III, also at the Artrage event, lets us know why "It's Hard Out Here for a Sea Monster". Chilean-born Rodrigo Bravo displays an action tale in "Ruins", crafted at Hairy Tarantula West in Toronto. Steve Troop brings the characters from his Melonpool series back to the page after a too-long absence with a tale drawn at The Comic Bug in Manhattan Beach, California. Alam Muammar, taking part in the Pengajian Komik DKV Community event in West Java, Indonesia, spins a dark and nearly-silent fairy tale parody with swordplay, dragons, and a handsome prince. Rob Osborne, the graphic novelist behind 1000 Steps to World Domination and Sunset City for Active Senior Living, introduces the star of his next graphic novel in "The Old Man and the Pants", drawn at Austin Books in Austin, Texas. And if you don't want to wade through all thousand pages of Ju Hui Judy Han's PhD thesis in cultural geography, you can read her 24 page comics version of it, created at Elfsar Comics & Toys in Vancouver. The book ships in March, but let your comics shop know now that you want it to make sure they order you a copy. Just $11.99 for 256 pages. The order code (your retailer will know what it means) is JAN07 3296. And for those of you who think your story deserved to be in the book - you're probably right. Paring the hundreds of stories submitted down to ten was a real struggle. It involved not just picking out the "best" story, but picking a mix of stories that will interest readers and reflect the diversity of the day. If there's a book for next year's event, I'll find some other sucker to agonize through this er I mean some other editor to lend their viewpoint of what is of value in a 24 hour comic.
