Last weekend’s Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo was a huge success for CBLDF! CBLDF Deputy Director Alex Cox led the charge for the Fund, and folks lined the aisles to pick up a copy of the extremely limited CBLDF Liberty Variant of Revival #9. Seeley joined us for a signing on Saturday, and Cox presented our ever-popular panel on the history of comics censorship. In addition to Revival #9, CBLDF also had signed copies of Jeffrey Brown’s new release, Vader’s Little Princess, on hand. All told, members, supporters, and fans helped CBLDF raise more than $16,000!
On Saturday night, the place to be was the Threadless + CBLDF Party at Threadless HQ! We would also like to thank our friends at Threadless for partnering with us and opening its atrium to hundreds of comics fans and CBLDF supporters and members. Highlights of the night included music by ShowYouSuck and Auggie the 9th, and a live art battle and a raffle, complete with signed CBLDF prints and Threadless gift codes! If you want to relive the night or want to live it vicariously, browse #threadlesscbldf on Twitter to see all of the evening’s highlights.
