Image Comics founder Jim Lee has provided an alternate, limited edition 1-25 variant cover for Liberty Comics #2 ($4.99), the 48-page full-color anthology comic benefiting the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund that will be released on October 14th.  The second issue of Liberty Comics already features two covers, one by Batman: The Long Halloween’s Tim Sale, and a new Kick-Ass image by John Romita, Jr.

Rich, “The Apocalypstix” by Ray Fawkes and Cameron Stewart, a return to “Channel Zero” by Brian Wood, a preview of “Choker” by Ben McCool and Ben Templesmith, plus a special Martha Washington piece by Dave Gibbons and contributions from Paul Pope, Kathryn and Stuart Immonen, Chynna Clugston, Paul Grist, and Jason Aaron.
