24 pages in 24 hours by 29 comic artists

From September 5 to September 6, 2026, the Comic Crew Basel brought the "24-Hour Comics" drawing marathon to Basel. The challenge: to create a 24-page comic within 24 hours.
A total of 29 comic artists spent an entire day and night working intently on their stories at the Christoph Merian Foundation’s venue. The project was realized in cooperation with the Cartoonmuseum Basel and the Alte Kaserne Winterthur, with financial support from the Christoph Merian Foundation (CMS). The completed works were subsequently exhibited in the library of the Cartoonmuseum Basel and at the Alte Kaserne Winterthur.
