comics anthologies edited by illustrator
Danny Hellman which features work from many alternative comics artists.
The first volume in the series was published in 2001,
[Hellman, Danny, editor. (2001). ''Legal Action Comics Vol. 1'', New York: Dirty Danny Legal Defense Fund. .] and the second followed in 2003.
[Hellman, Danny, editor. (2003). ''Legal Action Comics Vol. 2'', New York: Dirty Danny Legal Defense Fund. .] The ''Legal Action Comics'' series was initially conceived as a means to raise money for Hellman's legal fees after fellow cartoonist
Ted Rall filed a 1.5 million dollar lawsuit against him.
