scans_dailyOn a more positive note, while digging through my "things to post" folder I found these fun little pages from Liberty Comics, a 2008 special that Image put out to benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (a nonprofit dedicated to protecting comics creators from censorship and legal abuse). A number of big-name creators contributed stories of varying lengths and quality; these are my favorites.
First we have a cute little relatively apolitical story by Darwyn Cooke and Dave Stewart, called "The Deadly Book," narrated by a guy who steals a rare book from his grandfather.
He plans to sell it on eBay, but curiosity runs deep in the monkey brain so he takes a look at the thing first.
There's also the noir-y depressing "No One Rides for Free", by Brubaker and Phillips. A reporter in the middle of a story gets assaulted on the roof during his cigarette break.
On a more hopeful note, there's this little one page story by J Bone.
And finally, just for the lulz, here's Mignola's contribution.
