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.
Retailer Assistance Program.
The CLLDF’s Retailer Assistance Program was created to address the hardships retailers face due to the COVID crisis situation.
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.
Shop
One of the ways the CLLDF raises funds is through attending conventions across Canada selling autographed Trades and Graphic Novels. Click the link below to see what we currently have available.
“Your help has gone a long way to keeping comics flowing into the hands of our customers/ readers. I can’t say it enough.
THANK YOU!"
— Mark Gingras, Silver Snail Comics.
