Gordon Lee Case: Hearings and Auction

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is launching seven eBay auctions today at 3 ET to help defray costs from the Gordon Lee case. The Lee case will move into hearings on motions to dismiss charges tomorrow. Lee is charged with two counts of "Unlawful Dissemination of Nudity/Sexual Conduct Law" and five counts of "Distributing Harmful to Minors Material" for accidentally providing a minor with a copy of Alternative Comics #2, a giveaway comic that had brief instances of non-sexual male nudity in its pages. These are stupid laws, unfortunately applied.

Items being offered include:
* All Star Batman & Robin #1, the RRP Variant edition signed by Jim Lee & Frank Miller, CGC Graded 9.8
* Original Jonathan Luna Spider-Woman art;
* Original Jaime Hernandez Hopey art
* Hellblazer #27 signed by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean
* Serenity novelization signed by cast members and other luminaries.

The auction initiative is planned for two weeks. CBLDF Executive Director Charles Brownstein also suggests that members look into dues renewal or an additional end-of-the-year gift.
