At 3pm on the 24th, the 24 heures de la bande-dessinée started again this year.

The concept for the event that is followed worldwide involves receiving a specific plotpoint or detail about a comic, and spending the next 24 hours, not one more, to create 24 pages (one cover, one backcover and 22 story-pages) following it.
This year, around 400 people played part on the following theme :
The story is about a mischievious super-hero (male or female).
The entire work so far, of professionals, students or beginners, can be found here : 24hdelabandedessinee.com
Obviously, some of the artists haven't been able to complete the 24 pages task; the duty is, after all, very difficult and demanding, and many either gave up or had to reduce the number of pages they'd produce. Also, of course, it will probably look much less "professional" in many cases than what you'd find in a comic store.
Nonetheless, the experience and results are often very interesting, so I'll storytime a few ones from the pros that english-speakers will be able to enjoy too in this interesting concept.
Also, I'll storytime the one I made with a friend too, translated it from french to english. Shilling ensues
Also, this year, MANY spaniards and mexicans, apparently, participated. There's even a few gooks and africans.
