A Year’s Worth Of 24-Hour Comics
Way back in 2007, I’d scheduled one weekend a month to attempt McCloud’s Dare with the hope of improving and refining my comic book storytelling skills.
Here’s the archive of all the installments, most of them failures, but valiant attempts none the less. The art appears in context with the original post to give readers a feel for what worked, what didn’t, and maybe some insight into why.
