Comics Jam War: 2006

Seven prize-winning entries from the first Comics Jam War are collected in this volume. On April 1st, 2006, teams of cartoonists gathered in comic book stores across the U.S. and Canada and were simultaneously given a specific challenge: 12 hours to come up with their best eight-page story. Respected industry judges (former CrossGen head writer Barbara Kesel, veteran artist Joe Staton, and G.T.Labs publisher/writer Jim Ottaviani) then decided which stories best met the challenge, granting them the Gold, Silver and Bronze Comics Jam War awards (the "Comics Jammies".) Those three stories plus four honorable mentions are included in this anthology, plus an article on the event.
