Marvel Unveils Women’s History Month Variant ‘Star Wars’ Covers by Peach Momoko
Talented comic artist Peach Momoko has created 11 stunning variant comic covers to celebrate Women’s History Month. Her beautiful cover art will be featured in all of the Star Wars Marvel comics throughout the month of March.
“In her signature style, Momoko brings to life a variety of Star Wars characters who have inspired fans for generations across films, comics, and more!” (via Marvel.com)
The first four comic covers feature Amilyn Holdo from The Last Jedi, Khel Tanna, a scoundrel employed by Jabba in Han Solo & Chewbacca, bounty hunter Chanath Cha, who is currently seeking Darth Vader in Hidden Empire, and Leia wearing the Boushh disguise she made famous in Return of the Jedi.
“It’s an honor to be working on so many covers for the Star Wars world… I love all the characters I got to draw. They each have their own uniqueness and strength that I admire.”
It’s interesting to see the variety of character choices for the covers. There is a mix of well-known characters, such as Leia, and some female characters who aren’t as well-known in the Star Wars universe and by the more casual fans. Other characters that will be featured in this series are: Gheyr, a young Jedi padawan debuting in Yoda #4, Sabé, a loyal handmaiden of Padmé Amidala currently in an uneasy alliance with Darth Vader in the pages of his ongoing solo series, and Barash, a gifted Jedi whose name is forever linked with the “Barash Vow” and whose story is currently being told in The High Republic – The Blade.
The first of Momoko’s variant covers go on sale on March 1 with the following comics spearheading the charge: Hidden Empire #4, Han Solo & Chewbacca #10, and Star Wars #32.
