The work that brought writer Nat Gertler his Eisner Award nomination is collected in book form for the first time. This is a super-hero tale where you never see the super-hero. Instead, a series of connected short stories show how his presence effects the lives of everyone else: the cop on the beat, the crook on the street, the reporter, the retiree, the kid playing with a doll of the hero. Over 20 stories, illustrated by Eisner- and Friends of Lulu Award-nominee Justine Shaw (Nowhere Girl), Joe Staton, Ignatz Award- and Friends Of Lulu Award-winner and six-time Eisner nominee Carla Speed McNeil, mini-comics pioneer Matt Feazell, and many more.

Comics writers have fertile imaginations and great story-telling skill. Here they step out from behind the artists to show off their prose writing abilities. Included in this volume are:  "Louise," a tale from Max Allan Collins about his comic book detective, Ms. Tree, "Toto, I Have a Feeling We're Not in Kansas Anymore," a humorous science fiction tale about some odd mayhem taking place at an amusement park that hadn't been there the day before, "The Black '59," a rock'n'roll horror story about a guitar that holds the soul of a musician, a crime story by Kurt Busiek, "Life in Fur," which is about as sensitive, caring, and sweet as a werewolf story should be, and five more.

<ul> <li>A large comics convention is a sea of humanity, with tens of thousands ofpeople thronging. And yet, like any sea it is made up of individual drops. Eachof those people has hopes and dreams, scams and schemes, and reasons for beingat this place, at this time.</li> <li>The Big Con is an original graphic novel, but it's made up of smallersegments, tales of individuals that form a larger picture when brought together.There are stories about the fans, about romance between participants in thecostume contest. There are stories about the enthusiastic young creator whosestar is on the rise, and the older creator who can find plenty of people topraise his old work but no one to publish his new efforts. There are the moviestars disguising themselves so they can go out amongst the crowd, and the poorcomics fan who has to make it through the entire convention weekend with lessthan five dollars, no food, and no hotel room. Some of these stories are brightand happy, filled with humor, and some are more somber, showing the lonelinessthat one can only find in the middle of a crowd. Romance, joy, despair and crimewill all be found here.</li> </ul>

<li>Creating a twenty-four page comic book story normally involves months of work. On April 24, 2004 — 24 Hour Comics Day — hundreds of cartoonists each tried to create a complete 24-page comics story in 24 straight hours. Some were sequestered away in their homes, working privately, while others were working in the middle of comic book shops, creating comics as performance art. Some were big-time comics creators, while others were enthusiastic amateurs who hadn't drawn 24 pages of comics before in their life.</li> <li>The founder of 24 Hour Comics Day, Nat Gertler, delves into the results and pulls out twenty interesting examples. These comics show the quality, diversity, energy, and even grace of the 24 hour comic.</li> <li>The 24 hour comic was invented by Scott McCloud, comics' leading theoretician. He created this challenge as a creative exercise for himself and a friend, never dreaming what it would blossom into. Now, with hundreds of cartoonists having taken the challenge and tens of thousands of comic pages having been created, it has become a rite of passage for young creators and a source of rejuvenation for older ones.</li>
