Modern Myths Benefits the CBLDF with Complete Miracleman Sets.

Modern Myths, LLC of Northampton, MA is auctioning a complete set of the groundbreaking Miracle Man series on eBay with proceeds benefiting the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. The run of Miracle Man comics will include auctions: Miracle Man #1-7 and #9-16 (Alan Moore’s complete run) and Miracle Man #17-22 (Neil Gaiman’s ‘Golden Age’, the last complete storyline in the book.) and Miracle Man Apocrypha #1-3 (a collection of ‘imaginary stories’ by a handful of comics’ best authors and artists, including Gaiman, Moore, Kurt Busiek, Kelley Jones, Matt Wagner, and more). Many of these issues are hard enough to find on their own, but are being offering here in complete runs, with 50% of the proceeds going to the Fund through MissionFish.

“We’ve been enthusiastic supporters of the Fund from our opening day five years ago,” says Modern Myths managing partner Jim Crocker. “I’ve always believed that Joe Ferrara’s description of the Fund as another type of business insurance is very apt. We’re lucky enough to be in a pretty progressive community ourselves, but that’s no guarantee that we’re safe.”

Crocker adds, “We currently support the Fund by donating all proceeds from sales of limited variants, and matching all donations placed in our counter-top change canister. It’s not necessarily much, but we’re a small store doing what we can. It was when I read one of the Fund’s press releases where they revealed that they had already paid more to defend Gordon Lee than it cost to open my store that we decided to try and do something extra for the Fund this holiday. When we realized that we could help the Fund with eBay’s MissionFish service and that we had a full run of this modern classic that could possibly command a respectable premium at auction, we decided that it made sense to share that with the CBLDF.”

“Jim and Modern Myths have always been generous to the CBLDF, and we’re grateful to see them leading the charge to help the Fund on eBay with this unique auction,” says CBLDF Executive Director Charles Brownstein. “Modern Myths sets a great example for how each individual store can make a difference that adds up to help the Fund defend the First Amendment rights of the comics field, and we’re grateful to them for it.”

Fans of comics and/or free speech can help support the Fund by going to this auction [link to eBay] and bidding on these two sets of comics. Modern Myths, LLC will donate 50% of the gross sale prices to the Fund.
