The 24 Hour Comics Day is a challenge for comic artists to draw a 24-page comic within 24 hours. The annual event takes place in many locations around the world, usually in early October.

This year's 24 Hour Comics Day event at Lambiek in Amsterdam began on Saturday morning, 2 October 2010 at 11:00 AM, with about 25 comic artists completing a 24-page comic within 24 hours. It finished on Sunday morning at 11:00, with many local dutch comic artists finishing their comics, for our sixth consecutive year.

Many people followed the action on Galerie Lambiek's Facebook.

There was a similar hosting of the 24 Hour Comics Day event at Lambiek in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. The dutch edition of the books from the 24 Hour Comics Day in 2006, 2007 and 2008 are often available in the store.

Most of the artists drew a full 24-page comic at this year's event.

We had lots of food and soup donated to get us through the night, with enough fresh coffee to keep us mostly awake.

Many thanks to our generous sponsors. It was a night to remember.
