What up wooks! Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm are back at it, celebrating Black History Month this February with some stellar variant covers.
-> See all Star Wars variant checklists here
They actually announced these back in December but since we’re inching towards February, I figured I’d share.
They’ve tapped prominent black comic artists like Karen Darboe, Ken Lashley, Mateus Manhanini, and Ernanda Souza to spotlight iconic Black characters from the Star Wars universe. From the suave Lando Calrissian to the fierce Mother Aniseya from The Acolyte, these covers slap.
Plus, it’s all in time for the 10th anniversary of Star Wars storytelling returning to Marvel Comics.
