Marvel and Lucasfilm have officially unveiled this year’s Star Wars Pride Variant Covers, which showcase the LGBTQIA+ characters and creators of the galaxy far, far away across all seven Star Wars comic book releases in March.
“As a gay kid obsessed with Star Wars — I’m old enough to have seen the first movie in theaters when it came out back in ‘77 — I could never have dreamed that not only would I be able make artwork for the universe itself as a working adult, but that I would be drawing LGBTQIA+ Star Wars characters to celebrate Pride!” said artist Phil Jimenez, who contributes two of the seven covers. “The very idea would have blown my seven-year-old mind. What an extraordinary opportunity and a real gift to be a part of expanding the Star Wars universe in a really vital way.”
Here’s a look at all seven covers…
