Dear Friends of Cartooning,

MDeC, Pekomik and Cedko are pleased to present you a very special Hari Raya gift ...Malaysia's very own comics convention aptly named KomiKON Malaysia 2007!

This premier event/convention will feature the biggest gathering of cartoons, comics & manga fans where they meet, socialize, meet creators, buy comics and related products, chat with local talents & portfolio reviews by experts for aspiring artists.

Date : October 20 & 21, 2007
Venue : Main Concourse, Cineleisure Damansara
Entrance : FREE

3 main highlights of KomiKON Malaysia 2007 are the:

a) Marvel Talent Search
Believe it or not, it's true! Marvel's top talent scout, C.B. Cebulski will be in KL (his only Southeast Asian stop!) during his 2007 global search for 12 artists who will be awarded the opportunity to work at Marvel Comics. Guaranteed!

Possibly the largest worldwide comic book talent search ever undertaken & for the very fist time in Asia! And Malaysia!!!

Get your portfolio together & make your draw-for-Marvel-dream a reality at KomiKON Malaysia 2007. We'd be like proud parents if at least 1 Malaysian is chosen. Impossible? Definitely not! Especially if we believe in ourselves and always remember... Malaysia Boleh!

b) Malaysian 24 Hour Comics Day 2007
The weekend of October 20 & 21, 2007 will see history being created in the Malaysian comics scene for it marks Malaysia's entry into the international comics celebration that is the 24 Hour Comics Day.

In conjunction with the recent 50th Merdeka celebrations, 50 Malaysian cartoonists and comics artists will push themselves to the limit and take up the 24 Hour Comics challenge - creating a 24 page comics story in 24 straight hours! That's months of work crammed into a single day!!!

Impossible? Well, come check out this incredible event for yourself, bring your sleeping bags, pillows and blankets and support these brave (and perhaps insane!) group of 50 cartoonists and comics artists.

c) Cartoonist Alley @ "Comics Crazy" & "Manga Mad" wings
Come and experience the largest gathering of mainly local cartoonists, comics and manga artists. Let them amaze you with their drawing talents and perhaps get a sketch or two from your favourite artist. Who knows? You might be the proud owner of a priceless piece of art in the near future!

Damn! Months of work had gone wasted!

But guys/gals, the Malaysian 24 Hour Comics Day event will still be on! Let's move to http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/525501 get yourself registered and challenge yourself to the max!
