Things From Another World (TFAW.com) and The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) are inviting comic industry professionals to take part in an exciting new fundraising effort, which will culminate at the CBLDF’s auction at San Diego Comic-Con 2009 (July 23rd-26th). This event is open to individual creators and companies in the comic, toy, and comic collectibles industry and has already been generously endorsed by flagship sponsors Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, Top Shelf Productions, Periscope Studio, and Top Cow Productions. Additionally we are thrilled to launch this event with the art of esteemed and award-winning artists David Hahn, Steve Lieber, Mike Mignola, and Eric Powell already committed to the auction.
These companies and creators are donating original artwork, which will be auctioned at SDCC ‘09, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund to support their ongoing mission of preserving First Amendment rights for members of the comics community. An update list of contributing artists and organizations can be found right here.
TFAW.com and the CBLDF will be printing 1,000 limited edition Autograph Cards to be distributed at SDCC ‘09, for every participating creator. We are extending an open invitation to all comic industry professionals to participate in this fundraising effort for the CBLDF. For each charitable donation of art made, TFAW.com will assume the costs for creating 1,000 limited edition Autograph Cards for you and distribute half of them for you at SDCC. Fans of these artists will want to be sure to get to participating booths early as these cards will go fast!
Please join us in the fight to preserve the First Amendment rights of professionals in our industry. If you’re in the comic industry and would like to coordinate your inclusion in this event, or if you have any further questions, please contact us.
You don’t have to be an artist to join the fight for First Amendment rights! Learn how you can become a member of the CBLDF today, and keep comics safe for tomorrow!
