Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is a nonprofit organization dedicated to safeguarding the First Amendment rights attached to the comics art form and its community, including retailers, creators, publishers, librarians, and readers. It provides legal referrals, representation, advice, assistance, and education to support free expression and protect against censorship. Based in the Lake Oswego area of Oregon and operating within the legal services sector, the fund serves a broad spectrum of the comics ecosystem by helping its constituents address First Amendment issues. In this field, it acts as an advocacy and support organization, collaborating with partners and contributing to amicus efforts to defend freedom of expression in comics. A recent development is its participation in the ComicsPro Sneak Peak event in January 2026, where interim director Jeff Trexler spoke about censorship and its impact on retailers.
