Each day, more people seem to be joining the fight against Trump’s administration. For one, artist David Mack is selling a gorgeous watercolor print of Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel with the proceed benefiting the ACLU. Now, Image Comics is stepping up with a series of variant covers to benefit Planned Parenthood.
The company is celebrating its 25th anniversary by releasing themed variants each month. For March, their covers will celebrate Women’s History Month with all of the proceeds going to Planned Parenthood. The covers will celebrate women in comics and their achievements while highlighting the company’s penchant for pushing companies. Expect variant covers for the likes of Motor Crush, Rat Queens, Moonshine and more.
“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,” Corey Murphy, Director of Sales, said in a statement.
“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.”
The celebration kicks off with Rat Queens #1 and Royal City #1 hitting stands on March 1.

Love and magic; longing and spirits.
1. Isao Takahata (director of The Tale of Princess Kaguya, Grave of the Fireflies, and My Neighbor the Yamadas) and Hayao Miyazaki (director of Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and My Neighbor Totoro) cofounded Studio Ghibli together. Takahata discovered both Miyazaki and Joe Hisaishi, the composer for many Studio Ghibli films.
2. Hisaishi was asked to re-score some of the music for the English release of Castle in the Sky. According to Disney, Ghibli's North American distributor, markets outside of Japan weren't comfortable with large gaps without music. In the original Castle in the Sky, there is only an hour of music in the 124-minute movie.
3. The films that Miyazaki directs are entirely in his vision. He storyboards everything himself and uses those images as a script. Production begins before the boarding finishes, so no one, including Miyazaki, knows how the film will end.
Studio Ghibli
4. Though many consider Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind to be the first Studio Ghibli film, its release predates the studio's founding. The first Ghibli film was Castle in the Sky.
5. If you look closely, the same fox squirrels from Nausicaa of the Vally of the Wind reappear in Castle in the Sky.
6. Witnessing the1984 Miners' Strike in Wales impacted Miyazaki, and subsequently influenced Castle in the Sky as it is partially set in a mining town.

7. Neil Gaiman adopted the script for the English version of Princess Mononoke. He said that what Miramax (the North American distributor) and Studio Ghibli wanted were so different that he wrote a draft for each, then told them to fight it out amongst themselves

8. Ponyo, a movie about a goldfish who wants to become human, is loosely based on The Little Mermaid.
9. Miyazaki drew the waves in Ponyo himself.
