CBLDF Presents: Liberty Protects Freedom to Read


Creative freedom often goes hand in hand with other freedoms. Imagination for instance. Freedom of enjoyment is another great one. It also typically comes with the freedom to read and that's something CBLDF wants to protect with CBLDF Presents: Liberty, an anthology benefiting the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.

CBLDF’s Liberty collection is perfect for comics aficionados because it has so many of their favorite creators in there,” said Charles Brownstein, Executive Director at the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. “It's also a terrific book for fans and retailers to give to the new readers flocking to comics right now as a sampler of all the incredible talent the medium has to offer. Best of all, it helps CBLDF pay for our important work on behalf of readers, retailers and creators everywhere.”
