Bill Gaines Was Right! Gift Sets

Celebrating the 60th anniversary of the United States Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency Hearings, during which Bill Gaines (legendary publisher of EC Comics and MAD magazine) stood up to the U.S. government and defended comics, these items proudly proclaim what every free -speech-supporting comic fan has known for years: “Bill Gaines was Right!”

Not only was Bill Gaines a brilliant publisher, presiding over some of the greatest comics ever made and America’s most beloved humor magazine, he was a tireless fighter against censorship and a lifelong advocate for free speech. These items succinctly celebrate his efforts, and offer a bit of thanks to a great man, and a Titan of Comics. This set includes a ceramic mug and a tote bag. A shirt can be added for an extra donation.
