Defender

The Defender is a one-shot comic benefit issue published in 2018 by the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, uniting a lineup of top-tier creators to support the organization's mission of protecting the First Amendment rights of the comics community. This single issue stands as a snapshot of the industry's solidarity, with its proceeds directly funding legal advocacy for cartoonists and publishers. While brief in its run, it matters as a tangible, creative show of support for free expression within the medium.
