Come support Free Expression, the 2010 LIBERTY ANNUAL, and mingle with the greatest talents in comics, at the CBLDF’s NYCC Welcome Party, presented by Image Comics & The Beat this Thursday at The Village Pourhouse Restaurant Row! We'll have special gifts, copies of the Liberty Annual and special open bar bracelets! Come out and support the CBLDF!

Starting at 8 p.m., this event is free and open to everyone! With a suggested donation of $10 or more, you will receive a special gift bag, full of goodies from Image Comics & CBLDF! In addition to great gifts, an open bar will be available for donations of $30 and $50. Preordering bracelets is strongly encouraged, as we'll have a very small quantity of them at the door.
