Alex Cox, Deputy Director of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, says:

Valiant Entertainment has been an active and vital supporter of the CBLDF since they initially burst onto scene, and it’s always great to work with them on fundraising events like this one. They have some of the most dedicated fans in comics, and hopefully this experience will give those fans an inside look at the industry, while also helping us continue our important work, defending Free Expression.

Valiant Entertainment has been a supporter of the CBLDF since 2012 and a Corporate Member of the fund since 2013. In the past four years, Valiant has created exclusive covers annually for Comic-Con International in San Diego by creators such as Erica Henderson, Gilbert Hernandez, Tony Millionaire, and more.
