The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund returns to Comic-Con San Diego this month with the CBLDF Comic-Con Welcome Party Thursday night and the CBLDF Art Auction Saturday night. These events will be in addition to nine CBLDF-sponsored panels. You’ll also be able to reach us throughout the Con at booth #1918.
Join CBLDF and their contributing members Thursday night, July 21, for the convention’s most popular comic-focused party. CBLDF will host the party at the Westgate Hotel’s Terrace Under the Stars starting at 8 pm. The welcome party brings together all corners of the comics community, including retailers, publishers, creators, educators, and fans.
The party will have hot and cold hors d’oeuvres for the first 90 minutes and a cash bar through the evening until 12 am. It’s open to the public, with free admission for CBLDF members and all others asked to make a voluntary contribution. Attendees will also get an up-close look at the art to be auctioned Saturday night.
CBLDF Art Auction is back! After two years, the fan-favorite auction returns with art and collectibles from some of comics’ greatest creators. (See our full list below.) The CBLDF Art Auction will be held Saturday, July 23, from 8 pm to 10 pm at the San Diego Hilton Bayfront in the Sapphire AB room.
All proceeds will benefit CBLDF’s ongoing battle against the rising tide of censorship in our schools, libraries, and stores. The auction is open to all — You do not need a Con badge to attend! Bidding will be available online, and Comic-Con attendees can also visit CBLDF booth #1918 to see auction art in advance.
Interim Director Jeff Trexler, Communications Director Jordan Smith, and special guests will host the following special CBLDF panels on recent developments in protecting the comic arts:
