Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm have announced that they are celebrating Pride Month 2022 with a new collection of stunning Star Wars Pride variant covers which will feature across all of Marvel’s Star Wars comic book titles, showcasing the LGBTQIA+ characters and creators of the Star Wars galaxy. Check them out here…
“For me it’s one of the greatest honors and pleasures to highlight the wonderful diversity of characters in comics,” artist Javier Garrón told StarWars.com. “Maybe we come to stories because it’s sci-fi, or action, or thriller, or whatever, really. But if we stay in them, if those stories stick with us, it is because of the characters.”
The 2022 Star Wars Pride variants include:
- Marvel Comics’ breakout character and star of her own ongoing series, Doctor Aphra
- Fellow archaeologist and self-proclaimed “arch-nemesis” of Doctor Aphra, Kho Phon Farrus
- Sabé, Saché and Yané, former handmaidens of Padmé Amidala who currently play a pivotal role in the STAR WARS: DARTH VADER comic series
- T’onga, a former bounty hunter currently being pulled back into action in the STAR WARS: BOUNTY HUNTERS comic series and her wife, Losha
- Jedi Padawans of the High Republic era, Lula Talisola and Zeen Mrala
- Vi Moradi, the Resistance spy who can often be found by guests visiting Black Spire Outpost at Batuu
- Resistance Commander Larma D’Acy, known for her appearances in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker, and her wife, Resistance Pilot Wrobie Tyce
Look for the Star Wars Pride variants in comic book shops starting June 15th.
