*On April 1, 2006, about 100 creative teams made up of about 300 people (young and old, male and female, comic pros and amateurs) took part in the first Comics Jam War. The goal of each was to create the best possible 8-page black-and-white all-ages comic book story built around the cover image you see on the front of the book (an image they did not see until the start of the event). A panel of professional comic book creators and editors reviewed the results and selected the prize-winning entries which you see here. *Source: Inside cover
