Poison Ivy Harley Quinn variant cover for DC Pride Anthology

We’re Swooning Over These Variant Covers from DC’s Pride Anthology

We celebrate Pride every day of the year.

DC Comics is already prepping for Pride Month with a sneak peek at their 2022 queer comics anthology. DC Pride 2022 #1 features stories about LGBTQIA+ characters from across the extended DC universe. The 104 page anthology will include an introduction written by Nicole Maines, who played DC’s first trans superhero Dreamer/Nia Nal on the CW’s Supergirl. The anthology will feature some of our favorite queer characters from our favorite queer and allied writers and artists.

Chelsea was born and raised in New Orleans, which explains her affinity for cheesy grits and Britney Spears. An pop culture journalist since 2012, her work has appeared on Autostraddle, AfterEllen, and more. Her beats include queer popular culture, film, television, republican clownery, and the unwavering belief that 'The Long Kiss Goodnight' is the greatest movie ever made. She currently resides in sunny Los Angeles, with her husband, 2 sons, and one poorly behaved rescue dog. She is a former roller derby girl and a black belt in Judo, so she is not to be trifled with. She loves the word “Jewess” and wishes more people used it to describe her.
