Comic Book Legal Defense Fund - Defending Free Expression Since 1986 #1778324 (License: Personal Use)

This emblem features Hellboy, the red-skinned demon hero, tearing through shackles with his massive fist, symbolizing liberation from censorship. Encircling him is the text “Comic Book Legal Defense Fund” and “Battling Censorship Since 1986,” punctuated by five red stars-evoking both patriotic symbolism and comic-book dynamism. The artwork, signed by Mike Mignola and colored by Dave Stewart, underscores the organization’s mission to defend First Amendment rights in the comics medium.

Used on the CBLDF website, advocacy campaigns, merchandise, and educational materials to visually communicate the organization’s mission. Targets readers, creators, librarians, and educators seeking information on free expression, censorship challenges, or ways to support comic advocacy.
