Beginning on October 1, 2007 ComicBookShelf.com will be donating to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and the Hero Initiative. These two organizations specialize in protecting the legal rights and well-being of the comic book industry. They fight to protect our First Amendment Right to free speech and expression.

ComicBookShelf.com is a leading online graphic novel retailer in Northern California. They will be giving 10% of every sale, 5% to each organization, from now until the end of the year. To aid even more, they are going to double that number from now until November 1. CBLDF and the Hero Initiative will undoubtedly put the donations to good use.

ComicBookShelf.com specializes in comics in graphic novel format. On the website, users can tag books, recommending them to friends. Shipping is always free, with no minimum purchase standard, or books can be picked up at Hijinx Comics in San Jose, California. For more info, go to their website or contact Dan Shahin by calling (408) 728-9203.
