HB1375 UPDATE – Comic Book Legal Defense Fund

Confirmed! HB1375 will not become law unless it gets attached to a live bill. We’re watching what happens House consideration of Senate bills – SB20, which allows for an unconstitutional prosecution for possessing certain cartoons or animation, is still live and likely to pass – and will keep you posted of any new developments.I expect that this isn’t the last time we’ll see an attempt to hold store owners liable for selling graphic novels and m…United States · United StatesRead Article

Texas HB1375: Legalizing frivolous comic shop lawsuits – Comic Book Legal Defense Fund

Suing comic shops for selling graphic novels & manga could become routine in Texas if House Bill 1375 (HB1375) becomes law. There had been hope that the new version of HB1375, released today, would remove or significantly narrow this provision, but as you can see in the link & the images in this post, it remains. One might think that HB1375 refers to material that’s obscene/harmful to minors would be a safe haven, and with respect to a guilty ve…Texas, United States · TexasRead Article

Imports, Tariffs, Mail, and the Comstock Act (Pt. 3) – Comic Book Legal Defense Fund

We’ll return to where things stand with the financial aspect of comics-related tariffs in my next post, but for this I want to respond to a question we’ve received several times in recent weeks: could we see a revival of prosecutions under the Comstock Act, the 19th century law prohibiting the mailing of obscene, immoral, indecent, and lewd material? This question is particularly relevant not only because the U.S. Postal Service is aggressively …Tariffs · United StatesRead Article

Why Trump’s Tariffs Should Not Apply to Graphic Novels, Manga, and Comics: The Book Ban Connection (pt. 2) – Comic Book Legal Defense Fund

In my previous post, I noted an aspect of Trump’s tariffs that has received little to no media attention: the evident exemption for books and other publications, including graphic novels, comics, and manga. Today we’ll take a more detailed look at this exemption, which we have in large part because of books bans in the 1980s, back when the CBLDF was founded. The Trump Reciprocal Tariffs Before we go into exemptions, let’s take a moment to review…Comics · United StatesRead Article
