The CBLDF is proud to offer a limited selection of signed t-shirts from Neil Gaiman’s personal wardrobe, a most unique thank you for your support of the CBLDF’s First Amendment legal work!

Each signed t-shirt is straight from Neil’s own collection, and will be chosen at random in the size of your choice, while supplies last.
