The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has announced that Reginald Hudlin, former Marvel Comics writer and Hollywood entertainment innovator, has accepted a seat on its Board of Directors, where he joins Larry Marder, Jennifer L. Holm, Paul Levitz, Jeff Smith, Jeff Abraham, Dale Cendali, Milton Griepp, Katherine Keller, Andrew McIntire, and Chris Powell.
The CBLDF is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of First Amendment rights for comic book retailers, publishers and authors.
In accepting the position, Hudlin said, "Freedom of expression is a cornerstone of democracy. As Americans, we all need to stand united to protect our liberties. I’m flattered to be asked to join an organization that does just that."
Writer and filmmaker Hudlin’s Marvel Comics career includes a multi-year run on Black Panther, during which time he was also chief programmer at the BET cable network (see "Hudlin to Continue to Write 'Black Panther'"), where he wrote and produced the Black Panther animated series. In addition to writing and directing House Party, Boomerang, and BeBe’s Kids, he has also served as executive producer on The Boondocks animated series. He also produced Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, for which he received an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. Along with Denys Cowan and Derek Dingle, he re-launched Milestone Media earlier this year (see "Milestone Returns as Milestone Media 2.0").
