The goal of the Hatboro-Horsham Comic Book Club is to bring together people who have an active interest in comics, cartooning, drawing, manga, or even writing. We aim to bring attention to the art of story-telling through the medium of comics. We will do this by meeting regularly, producing graphic novels, and then distributing them throughout the school so that more people can be informed about this modern artform.


How does the CBC work?

Well, we gather and have a fun afternoon. Arrive before 3:00 PM to room A105 with an open mind --you'll be in for many surprises in this club. In the beginning of the school year, we get organized and get to know each other. What story do we want to tell? What impact do we want to make? You can work solo, or with a group.

Who are we?

Some of us are writers, some are artists, and some are editors/proofreaders/betas/and good friends.

What will you need to do?

Come up with a general plot, characters, a title, and how many pages you think you can pull off each month.

Deadlines are set for one month after the prep work is completed. Each week we track progress to make sure everyone (or at least most of us) are on track. At the end of the month, the leader gathers all the chapters of each comic (title pages included) and gets it sent to be photocopied. When we have all our issues, we release our publications to the school store, the library, and to the study halls.

After a sucessfull month, we plan small parties to celebrate.

But it's not as difficult or confusing as it may sound. Everyone becomes quite good friends. We have rather insane antics, we carry on, we procrastinate, we make snide remarks about Super Dave, and we sometimes hold on-the-spot "Who-Can-Shake-Their-Moneymaker-the-Best" contests.

Think you can handle us? We think we can handle you. ;)


Additional Notes:
Important things to know about our members and their views:

1. We dislike homophobics, first and foremost. Some of us more than others. We do not gay-bash; we do not pretend to be better than GLBT peers. If your religion endorses hate, then keep it out of the room and to yourself. Most of us are fully capable of whipping you in a good debate.
2. We are open-minded --plain and simple. Some part of us has never lost its imagination and wonder. We like to consider things seperately from other matters. Each idea is unique. However, we may not be liberal, we may not be conservative, and we may not be overly concerned with politics at all.
3. We respect diversity. Nay, we embrace it. We are interested in different cultures and different ways. A good half of us are already knee-deep in Asian culture, especially.
