In a Tweet sent on Thursday, July 1st, 2021, the official Vault Comics Twitter account announced a Pride promotion that will continue beyond the confines of June!
Welp, it's July now, so #PrideMonth is technically over. Except, not for us.
See, we decided we're going to keep celebrating #ProudComics. Every. Single. Month.

In the quote included in the image that accompanied the Tweet, Vault Comics Editor-In-Chief Adrian Wassel said,
Pride is not a fleeting moment. Pride is not a chance to participate and move on. Pride is a celebration. The month will end, and we’ll keep making queer comics.
Digital Sales
Part of the Vault Comics Pride initiative will see a certain Vault Comics title spotlighted each month, with 50% of the digital sales from that title to be donated to The Trevor Project.
The Vault website emphasizes that this promotion will not be limited to June, but will run year round, with a different title featured (and raising funds for The Trevor Project) each month.
The titles with “Support Here” buttons so far include great books like Heathen and Submerged, and buttons for titles like Witchblood and The Autumnal are forthcoming…
And these four books are just scratching the surface of the titles listed on Vault’s website, so you’ll want to head over and check out all the books that are (or will be) included in the ongoing Pride 2021 promotion.
Progress Flag Logo
The announcement also included the unveiling of a new Pride logo for Vault.
The Vault Progress Pride Flag logo was designed by Tim Daniel, and is based on “Progress” pride flag designed by Daniel Quasar.
Plenty of Queer Comics
