IDW Media Holdings CEO Ted Adams has joined the board of directors of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, the organization announced. Adams founded IDW in 1999, and as CEO grew it into its current position as a leading publisher of comics and graphic novels, games, and television production company. Adams is an Executive Producer on two IDW Entertainment series: Wynonna Earp (Syfy) and Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency (BBCA).
"The freedoms we have because of the First Amendment can only survive if everyone knows and understands their rights, and if we’re willing to fight to keep them," Adams said of his new role. "I’ve long admired the work the CBLDF does to achieve those principles. My goal is to help the office team and Board continue to educate the comics community about their rights and to be there to defend those rights whenever and wherever necessary."
CBLDF President Larry Marder welcomed Adams to the board. "Ted's dedication to free expression is matched only by his entrepreneurial zeal and prudent business acumen," he said.
