All proceeds made from Pride Month variant covers will be donated to the Human Rights Campaign.
“We are so thankful for the opportunity to support the LGBTQ community during Pride Month this year by partnering once again with the Human Rights Campaign,” said Eric Stephenson, Publisher at Image Comics, in a statement. “It’s never been a secret that Image Comics is supportive of creative freedom, but it’s important that we also make it clear that we stand for inclusivity, diversity, and equality, now more than ever. We hope these variants will serve as a positive display of that ongoing commitment.”
Image Comics is celebrating its 25th anniversary by designating a different variant cover theme for each month of 2017. Previous themes have included Women’s History Month, April Fool’s, and Spawn.
