MySpace Comic Books, the comics corner of this online social network, and Meltdown Comics, a store in Los Angeles, have teamed up to commemorate the end of âY: The Last Man,â the comic book series created by Brian K. Vaughan, above, and Pia Guerra. The event, âY: The Last Party,â will be held on Friday, Feb. 8, and will benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. The organization, founded in 1986, is dedicated to the preservation of First Amendment rights for members of the comic book business. Of late the defense fund has been involved in the case of Gordon Lee, a comic book retailer in Rome, Ga., who has found himself in court over the distribution of obscene material to a minor. The material in question depicted Picasso in the nude. Mr. Vaughan, who is also a writer on ABCâs âLost,â is a firm believer in the defense fund. âItâs obviously a completely different situation from the writersâ strike, but, similarly, itâs creators taking care of their community, which I always support,â he said in a telephone interview. The $100 V.I.P. tickets have sold out, but a limited number of $25 tickets will be available the day of the event. More information:www.myspace.com/cbldf.
