CBLDF RETAILER ADVOCATE 2015-16 NO PREMIUMS

"Since the very first days of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, comic shop retailers have proven themselves to be a backbone of our fight for free speech. Comic retailers have unfailingly understood the importance of protecting the rights of artists and collectors alike. They are men and women who are willing to fight for their right to purchase and sell comics as they see fit, fully recognizing their rights under the First Amendment. For those retailers who choose to receive premiums with their membership, there are a number of great incentives for joining the CBLDF, and this year is no different. 2015 includes an all-star set of CBLDF Member Only variants from the biggest releases of the Fall season: o From DC Entertainment: DC Comics Top Secret #1 o From Marvel Comics: Invincible Iron Man #1 by Brian Michael Bendis and David Marquez o From Image Comics: I Hate Fairyland #1 by Skottie Young These covers are available only to CBLDF member stores, and only available through this program. The artists for these variant covers will be announced over the next month, so keep your eyes on CBLDF.org for the Exclusive Cover Art! Retailers will also receive copies of two CBLDF publications: the 2015 CBLDF Celebrates Banned Books Week and the CBLDF 'Defend Comics' Free Comic Book Day Bundle. All retailers receiving premiums will receive: o A One Year Membership in Comic Book Legal Defense Fund o The 2015 Membership Card, designed and illustrated by superstar artist Michael Cho o CBLDF branded window cling o Donation can o A CBLDF travel mug o CBLDF Celebrates Banned Books Week 2015 o CBLDF 'Defend Comics' Free Comic Book Day Bundle o An exclusive variant cover set of I Hate Fairyland #1, Invincible Iron Man #1, and DC's Top Secret book Retailer Members signing up at higher levels are also eligible to receive other items, such as additional variants and travel mugs. Every year our Retailer Membership program has grown from the year before, and this is a testament to the dedication of comic shop owners towards the cause of Free Expression in comics. This continued growth proves that when it comes to fighting for the rights of comic fans and creators, comics retailers lead the way. Help us make 2015 the biggest year for Retail Members yet!"
