24 Hour Comics Day

24 Hour Comics Day atau Hari Komik 24 Jam merupakan acara internasional di mana komikus-komikus di seluruh dunia berusaha menciptakan komik setebal 24 halaman dalam jangka waktu 24 jam non-stop secara serentak. Pertama kali diadakan di tahun 2004 di Amerika, tantangan dari Scott McCloud (Understanding Comics, Reinventing Comics, Making Comics) dan Nat Gertler ini disambut lebih dari ribuan peserta dari 18 negara. Bahkan McCloud telah menerbitkan beberapa buku kompilasi yang menampung 24 karya terbaik para komikus yang sudah ikutan 24 Hours Comics Day. Di tahun 2006, karya Tita Larasati (Curhat Tita) terpilih sebagai Best 10.

Di Indonesia sendiri, tidak kurang dari 70 komikus di Jakarta (Akademi Samali, Ruang Rupa), Surabaya (DKV ITS), Bandung (DKV ITB) dan Semarang (Papillon Studio) pernah turut ambil bagian. Tahun ini, komunitas-komunitas komik di Jakarta (Seven Blue Artland Studio), Bandung (Komunitas Manyala), Semarang (Papillon Studio), Medan (24 JAM NGOMIK NON-STOP!) dan Surabaya kembali meramaikan acara ini. Kali ini Comic Artists’ Society of Surabaya (CASS) mengadakan maraton komik 24 jam ini di C2O, mulai tanggal 18 Oktober pk. 10.00 WIB sampai 19 Oktober 10.00 WIB. Selain lebih seru, marathon rame-rame ini bertujuan memberi pengalaman dan kesempatan untuk melihat komikus-komikus lainnya beraksi. Selama acara berlangsung, reportase beserta halaman-halaman naskah yang sudah jadi akan dikirimkan ke situs web 24 Hour Comics Day untuk menyambungkan dengan panitia pusat Amerika (ComicsPro) dan para komikus lain di seluruh dunia. Di akhir acara, fotokopi karya-karya akan dikirimkan ke Ohio State Library untuk dokumentasi.

Bekerja sama dengan Independen Film Surabaya (INFIS), UKM Sinematografi Unair dan berbagai studio komik independen, antara lain Neo Paradigm, Outline Reborn, Seven Blue Artland dan Wind Rider Studio, maraton ini juga akan diramaikan berbagai acara alternatif, antara lain:
