Helping Canadian comic retailers since 1987.

We support free speech and retailers in need.

 

The Comic Legends Legal Defense Fund was founded in 1987 to raise money for the defense of a Calgary, Alberta comic shop whose owners were charged with selling obscene materials. The CLLDF has since been maintained on an ad hoc basis to provide financial relief for Canadian comics retailers, publishers, professionals, or readers whose right to free speech has been infringed by civil authorities. Largely dormant since the early 1990s, the CLLDF is reforming to provide support for this case, and reorganizing to ensure that help will be readily available for future cases involving Canadian citizens or authorities.

Auctions

CLLDF ran auctions between April 20 to the 29, 2020 and raised approximately $16,500; 100% of which will be used for our Retailer Relief Program.
