Image Comics supports Planned Parenthood with Women’s History variants

Image Comics celebrates 25 years by releasing themed variant covers every month beginning this month. The company has released their first wave of variant covers that celebrates their anniversary and Women’s History Month, that will ship in March.

There will be 11 covers in total, with five being revealed – East Meets West, Motor Crush, Rat Queens, Royal City, and The Wicked + The Divine. The March variant covers will celebrate Women’s History Month with 100% of the proceeds will go towards Planned Parenthood.

According to the press release, the variants will “serve to celebrate the careers of women in comics, the strides made throughout comics history made by the women’s movement, and the company’s history of shaking up the status quo.”

Corey Murphy, Director of Sales at Image Comics, said in the release, “Many of Image Comics’ staff—myself included—and an ever-growing catalog of some of the most talented writers and artists in the industry, feel strongly about supporting women’s reproductive rights. Women have come a long way in this country, and the progress that’s been made is in part due to the efforts Planned Parenthood has made in sex education and affordable, preventative healthcare. I’m extremely proud to be a part of a company that’s unafraid to take a stance in supporting a non-profit that’s recently been under fire. This month we celebrate Women’s History, the strides the women have made in the comics industry, and the difference that everyone—male and female—has made by coming together in spreading equality.”
