News is slow to come in the weeks leading up to San Diego Comic Con, so this week we would like to direct your attention to an existing organization that every comic book and graphic novel enthusiast should be aware of. The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) is a nonprofit group that has been defending the first amendment rights of comic book creators, publishers, and distributors since 1986. Endorsed by the likes of Neil Gaiman, Jeff Smith, and Frank Miller, the CBLDF defends a historically misunderstood medium that has sustained criticism since its inception. To learn more about the organization visit their website, or view their Wikipedia page for a list of landmark cases they have participated in.
