Skybound Announces Line of Variant Covers for Pride Month

Skybound Entertainment has announced that it will release a line of nine Pride Month variant covers featuring art by LGBTQ+ artists throughout the month of June.

All proceeds from the sales of the Pride Month variant covers will be donated to the Transgender Law Center, “the largest national trans-led organization advocating for a world in which all people are free to define themselves and their futures”. Skybound intends to continue the charity initiatives throughout the year, with additional actions aimed at supporting underrepresented and vulnerable communities.

“The trans community has seen an unprecedented attack on their rights in recent years, and Skybound has decided to launch this program to raise money to support this important fight for equality,” said  Sean Mackiewicz,  SVP/Editor-in-Chief, Skybound  Entertainment. “We support the Transgender Law Center’s mission to ensure all transgender and gender nonconforming people can live safely, authentically, and free from discrimination regardless of their gender identity or expression.”
