Comic Book in a Day

Comic Book in a Day has attracted fans and artists from all over the Midwest for the last five years, and with good reason. This fun, “something for everyone” event offers participants and spectators the opportunity to learn about the comic book industry, network with other fans and artists, learn from professionals, and more. Plus, Challenge Artists can register to compete against each other to create a full comic book, completely from scratch (about six pages) in this day-long event which concludes with an awards ceremony and a variety of prizes. After the event, Nickel Plate Arts will publish each of the comics created in a professional, two-volume comic format to be sold in our gift shop.

This year’s Comic Book in a Day will feature special guest artists Mike DeCarlo and Sterling Clark.
