Marvel Celebrates Pride Month This June With Phil Jimenez Variant Covers
by James Ferguson
Marvel recently announced Marvel’s Voices: Pride #1, a one-shot anthology commemorating Pride Month this June. Coinciding with this, the publisher has revealed a series of variant covers by artist Phil Jimenez, shining a spotlight on some of Marvel’s LGBTQ+ characters including Wiccan, Northstar, Mystique, America Chavez, Black Cat, Daken, Iceman, Moondragon, and the newest Valkyrie.
“I’m always blown away at how different things are now in comics when it comes to LGBTQ+ representation than when I started, and Marvel’s dedication to that inclusion,” Jimenez said. “As an (ahem!) older gay creator, I’m always thrilled by the opportunity to draw iconic LGBTQ+ characters from Marvel’s past and present, and grateful to contribute to Marvel’s future: one that truly represents the world — and the wonderful diversity of humanity — right outside your window.”
There are a total of nine covers altogether. Check out the listings and release dates below:
