1 Comiquiz 2010 is presented by Seriefrämjandet Stockholm (Swedish Comics Association, local department of Stockholm) Comiquiz 2010 will take place as planned november the 10th, 2010. The quiz pamphlet consists of 35 pages (including cover) separated into 13 categories. The number of points awarded for each category varies between 12 and 55 points, and the maximum number of points that could be acchieved on this year's Comiquiz is 348 points. Note that when we're asking about a certain artist, we're looking for the penciler (for instance in the cases where another person has inked etc.) In the cases we ask for the year of publishing, it's always the first publishing we're looking for, i.e. not when a comic magazine has been compiled into a trade paper back, or collected in an anthology. (Certain images have been slightly edited for design or competition reasons.) A. 2010 – The year we make contact (12 poäng) Note that even the cover itself is a category.
