Cartoonist Scott McCloud (Understanding Comics) first developed the 24 Hour Comic Challenge in 1990 as a creative exercise. Since 1990, the challenge spread among other artists and writers. In 2004, the challenge gained steam when writer Nat Gertler organized the first 24 Hour Comics Day, with events in following years taking place in the United States and other countries around the world. The 24 Hour Comic Challenge continues to be a way for creators to push the limits of their abilities while sitting side by side with other creators.
Milan Erceg, creative director of Top Chef, Project Runway, and Real Housewives, is the director of this documentary and he is joined by Executive Producer Neil Berkeley, and Producers Mike Camello, Ryan Sage, and Tom McFadden, in partnership with independent bookstores, coffee shops, and theaters.
