    Marvel Releasing ‘Star Wars’ Pride Comic Covers With LGBTQ+ Characters

    Star Wars Comic Covers

    May the Pride be with you.

    Marvel comics and Star Wars are celebrating Pride month with special Pride covers of all their Star Wars comics. The covers honor LGBTQ+ characters in the Star Wars universe and also feature art by LGBTQ+ artists.

    Artists doing the covers include Babs Tarr, Jacopo Camagni, JJ Kirby, Javier Garron, Jan Bazaldua, and Stephen Byrne. "As part of the community of LGBTQ+ creators -- a galaxy not so far away -- I am honored to be part of this project," Camagni told StarWars.com. "Sketching Yrica Quell was a journey to expand that endless galaxy, on board with her as rebels against the Empire."

    "Being invited to portray these two amazing characters was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I couldn't let slip away," says Garron about the nonbinary Jedi twins Terec and Ceret. "It's a chance to highlight what I love about them and Star Wars: it's an endless universe, immensely diverse and inclusive. With each story its limits are shattered and it becomes richer, more interesting and more fun to explore. So I wanted to draw Terec and Ceret as the powerful characters they are, filled with determination and hope. Because that's what a great Jedi means to me. And representation matters."

    Check out all the covers, and buy the issues when they debut in comic shops this June.
