Three years after a child was allegedly given a publication containing nudity in his store, Rome comic book storeowner Gordon Clifford Lee is set to go to trial in Floyd County Superior Court.

Lee is charged with distributing harmful materials to a minor, a misdemeanor punishable by as long as a year in jail.

The charges stem from a Halloween 2004 giveaway when an employee of Legends Comics in Rome gave a copy of “Alternative Comics No. 2” to two 6- and 9-year-old brothers.

In the comic book, a series of drawings depict a naked Pablo Picasso. The images were used to depict his first meeting with fellow Cubist Georges Braque.

Picasso is depicted in the nude, which, according to Charles Brownstein, executive director of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, is historically accurate. The CBLDF has been raising money for Lee’s defense in this matter.
