Becky CloonanAwesome artist Becky Cloonan supports the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund: she's joined our Second Annual SDCC Autograph Card/CBLDF Auction event! Cloonan will generously contribute an original sketch to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, which will be auctioned off at San Diego Comic-Con. All of the proceeds from this auction will go toward the fight for the First Amendment rights of the comics community!

Cloonan has been very busy in the past few years, contributing to Pixu, with Gabriel Bá, Fábio Moon, and Vasilis Lolos, and writing the Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales of the Vampires one-shot. She is currently working on DEMO, her critically acclaimed series with Brian Wood.

We are jazzed to have Cloonan join this year's CBLDF event, and you can be a part of the action: all of the sketches from our awesome publishers and creators and creating limited-edition autograph cards! We'll be giving these away, for free, at Comic-Con in San Diego. To collect yours, stop by the TFAW booth and the booths of our participants!
