The CBLDF's Spring Into Action Membership Drive Announces Incentives For New And Renewing Members

The goal is to sign up 500 new or renewing members by the end of May. All month long they'll offer limited-time incentives to thank people for their support.
So far this year, CBLDF has participated in the defense of more than a dozen school and library challenges, including attacks on The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and P. Craig Russell, This One Summer by Jillian and Mariko Tamaki, and Palomar by Gilbert Hernandez. Thanks to their efforts, these books are still on the shelves.
Here are the incentives for the week:
All donors will receive a special Spring Into Action edition of Defend Comics, a 54-page all-star digital anthology featuring stories by Neil Gaiman and Jim Lee, Jason Aaron and Moritat, Andy Diggle and Ben Templesmith, Terry Moore, Sergio Aragones and Mark Evanier, Evan Dorkin, Amy Chu and Shannon Wheeler, and many more.
