CBLDF Welcomes BOOM! As Corporate Member

This is more announcement than news story, but I'm all for a publisher like BOOM! joining the CBLDF's corporate membership for a numbers. It's good comics citizenry. It's a way of reinvesting in the industry after the last few years of success that the publisher has enjoyed. The CBLDF continues to do important work. I would think negotiating the kids/older kids/young adults with a taste for material that is reminiscent of kids material audience the way BOOM! does, they'd be keenly interest in a lot of the soft-power applications of censorship. It's way more difficult to dismiss an organization in which major industry players aren't invested, if it ever comes to that.

Charles Brownstein or Alex Cox can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the corporate membership program was shepherded to health and relevance by Paul Levitz in his admirable work with the Fund.
