Founded in 1986 by comic book artist and publisher Denis Kitchen, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) exists for the "protection of the First Amendment rights of the comics art form and its community of retailers, creators, publishers, librarians, and readers." In service to this mission, CBLDF provides legal referrals, advice, and education. In the Resources section of the site, the Using Graphic Novels in Education category may be of special interest to the librarian and educator readers of The Scout Report, as it provides lists of suggested titles that can be used to teach particular topics or with certain audiences. For example, the suggested titles for teaching about war and living through upheaval include Persepolis, by Marjane Satrapi and Keiji Nakazawa's Barefoot Gen, a 10-volume series on the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and life in Japan during WWII. From the list of titles, readers will find links to longer posts with discussion topics, links to additional resources, and state standards that can be fulfilled with educational units based on comic books. Some other categories on the list include books for younger readers, and books for Black History Month and Women's History Month.
