PANELS

CBLDF Presents: Banned Comics!
Friday, October 9, 2:45 – 3:45 p.m., Room 1B03

It’s hard to believe that books are still banned in the United States and yet each year hundreds of incidents are recorded. CBLDF springs to action in these cases, providing expert support for the librarians and individuals who fight back when calls to censorship arise. CBLDF Executive Director Charles Brownstein will examine the comics that have been banned and challenged this year, showing how they fit into recent trends in comics censorship.
