Comic Jam

The Swedish comic magazine Galago got the idea to dedicate an entire issue to a big comic jam. A comic jam is a collectively created story, where one artist starts to draw either a panel or several pages and then another artist takes over and continues the story….

Swedish comic artist Anneli Furmark started the story and drew eight pages about two girls and a babysitter and sixteen pages in Bim took over and drew eight pages guiding these girls in to a
monstrous night.
