Larry Marder’s CBLDF Liberty Cards Diary
« on: 08:05 AM | Friday, May 20, 2011 »

Comic Book Legal Defense Fund President Larry Marder takes you behind the scenes of the CBLDF Liberty Trading Cards with this first hand diary of his experiences putting the set together!

. . .

Last winter, when we first started doing all the plotting and planning for CBLDF Liberty Trading Cards we first came up with a list of folks we cast a wide net and see who in the extended community of comic book artists & illustrators might be want to lend a hand creating some sketch cards for us.

The characters owned by the biggest of the big boys all have trading card licenses. So, we went right to the creators that own and control their own characters.

It was a simple pitch: I asked the creator to consider lending CBLDF the use of their characters for CBLDF Liberty sketch cards.

I held my breath waiting.

It’s a pretty audacious thing to ask someone.

Oh, but the response was astonishing!

You can see for yourself by checking out the document below, a document given to every artist that decided to draw some cards for us.



I can’t begin to express enough thanks to these brave men and women who have entrusted me to take good care of their characters for the duration of this CBLDF project. It’s an incredibly generous act. They are helping support our comic book community’s constitutional right to freedom of speech.

In the coming days and weeks, I’ll be revealing all sorts of cards from the set including: bonus sketch cards, bonus autograph cards, and the base cards that tell the history — told in words and pictures — of comic book censorship in the United States of America.


Diary #1, featuring Rob Liefeld and Scott McCloud.

Diary #2 starring Matt Wagner's Grendel (GRENDEL!), featuring art by Jason “J.Gonzo!” Gonzalez, Karl Altstaetter, Zack Soto, and TKelly.
