CBLDF RETAILER CHAMPION 2014-15 MEMBERSHIP

"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. The Fund stands up for the rights each of us depends upon to do business, so please take this opportunity to stand up for your stores' rights by becoming a valued CBLDF Retailer Member today. 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. 2014 includes an all-star set of CBLDF Member Only variants from the biggest releases of the Fall season: • From DC Entertainment: Multiversity: Pax Americana #1 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely • From Marvel Comics: All-New Captain America #1 by Rick Remender and Stuart Immonen • From Image Comics: Wytches #1 by Scott Snyder and Jock 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! In addition to variant covers from these series, member stores will receive a CBLDF Travel Mug. We at the CBLDF understand that caffeine drives much of this Direct Market, and we want to help you refuel, whatever your beverage of choice. This mug is proudly brandished with the CBLDF Logo, and declares 'This store supports free speech.'
