CBLDF Sends Letter To Marshall, Missouri

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has joined the National Coalition Against Censorship in a statement of support in letter form to the Board of Trustees at the Marshall Public Library in Marshall, Missouri regarding a comics matter currently on their agenda. As heavily reported late last week, on October 4 the library board held a meeting to hear arguments for and against the removal of Alison Bechdel's Fun Home and Craig Thompson's Blankets, after a patron asked that this be done because of concerns that each award-winning, highly regarded book contained instances of inappropriate material.

The full statement can be found at The Comics Reporter.

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund was founded in 1986 as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of First Amendment rights for members of the comics community.
