CBLDF Liberty Trading Cards

Comic Book Legal Defense Fund’s website has articles about them and Cryptozoic Entertainment joining together to make a trading card set to help raise funds for the organization.  Librarians should know that if you have comic book/graphic novel fans more than likely they like trading cards as well.  The card set is supposed to be comprised of 70 base cards and will have additional chase subsets.  There was no report as of yet how much these cards will be, but they should have a release date of July 2011.  The first link is to the full article about the card set and the second link is two images of some of the chase cards that artists have done for the set.  This could be a way for your patrons to give back to the medium that they love.

CBLDF new DC themed Membership Card

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund’s 2011 membership card will feature DC’s Green Lantern Corps.  The article at DC’s site gives the details that each new and renewing member will get this as their 2011 membership card.  If an individual donates $100.00 or more, they will receive their card signed by Geoff Johns.  If any library patrons might be interested in supporting this organization let them know about the CBLDF.  Libraries that have a collection of graphic novels can consider becoming a member of this organization as part of their support.  A link to the short article about the membership card is below.  If you wish to learn more about the CBLDF you can link to their site in the left navigation bar under “Resources”.
