24 Hour Comics Day Wrapup

We had a couple great 24 Hour Comics Day events here in New Mexico, at True Believers Comics and Gallery in Santa Fe and Harwood Art Center in Albuquerque. Around 22 participants over the course of the event in Santa Fe, 19 in Albuquerque.

Below a few photos (click for larger). There are plenty more at our posts (listed below) to the 24 Hour Comics Day blog, which was tracking venues all across the world. And James, who couldn't join us, worked from home in Los Alamos and blogged about his experience.

Thanks to Chris and Danny at True Believers, and to Darby, Susan, Don, Jimmy, Kathy Meidel, and Scott Owen at Harwood; to Walter Burke Catering, Java Joe's, Upper Crust Pizza, RB Winning Coffee Company, and Einstein Bros. Bagels for their gracious food donations; to Nat and the rest of the organizers; and to all our participants.

7000 BC in The Alibi

"It's OK to be a grown-up and gorge on comic books these days. O'Leary's got the scoop on a local group of DIY comic-makers."

7000 BC is featured prominently in this week's comic feature in The Alibi. There's an article on the group, a look at some of our comics, and piece about 24 Hour Comics Day.

Update: the second letter talks about 7000 BC's predecessor. Kathy Dee, if you see this, please send us an email.
