Marvel’s Star Wars Variant Covers Celebrate Black History Month

STAR WARS: THE LEGACY OF VADER #1 BLACK HISTORY MONTH VARIANT COVER BY KAREN S. DARBOE

Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm are teaming up to celebrate Black History Month with a series of variant covers spotlighting characters of color in the galaxy far, far away.

The four covers come from artists Karen S. Darboe, Ken Lashley, Mateus Manhanini, and Ernanda Souza, and spotlight an interesting array of characters. One of the covers focuses on Lando – of course – and one is Vail from the recent video game Star Wars Outlaws. Meanwhile, the two others include Osha and Mae, and Mother Aniseya, both from Star Wars: The Acolyte.

You can check out Marvel’s description of the characters, as well as the covers and on-sale dates, below.

·       Lando Calrissian, the beloved Rebel hero from the Original Trilogy who returned to fight against the First Order in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

·       Mother Aniseya, the leader of a mysterious coven of Force users on the planet Brendok who debuted earlier this year in Star Wars: The Acolyte.

·       Osha & Mae, twin sisters with powerful connections to the Force and the stars of Star Wars: The Acolyte, where their conflicting views on the Jedi threatened their bond.

·       Vail, a cunning bounty hunter who players met in Star Wars Outlaws, the first-ever open world Star Wars game, available now.
