Media release — The Comic book legal defense Fund is pleased to announce that Alex Cox has been named to the position of deputy Director. In this new capacity, his responsibilities will expand to include full oversight of the CBLDF home office and fundraising program. Cox joined the CBLDF in the fall of 2010 as development Manager.
Since joining the CBLDF last year Cox has improved the organization’s membership program and convention presences. Under Cox’s watch, membership in both the merchant and individual capacities has shown dramatic increases. Cox has also managed the creation of a a lot more robust volunteer program in the new York home office. prior to CBLDF, Cox was a 15-year veteran of comics retail, including owning and managing the nationally recognized comic book store ROCKETSHIP.
Speaking about the promotion, Cox said, “I’m very grateful to be in a position to help the comics community fight back against any individual that would threaten complimentary expression in this art form that we all love. As a comic fan and student of the art form for close to 30 years, I never thought that I would see anything like the panic caused by SEDUCTION OF THE INNOCENT in my lifetime. but with the current case in Canada, the creeping specter of censorship and persecution is rearing its head again, making the CBLDF even a lot more important. I’m pleased to be a part of it and I look forward to working with our members, retailers, and the creative community in the years to come.”
“Alex has been a terrific addition to the CBLDF, and we’re ecstatic to be able to develop a space for him to grow even additionally within the organization” says Charles Brownstein, CBLDF’s executive Director. “Alex has made terrific strides in developing our fundraising program in a very tough time, and his leadership in the office has helped us bring in even a lot more talented volunteers to help us meet our work. He’s an very useful member of our team, and we’re thankful to see him take on this new role.”
