DC Pride (comics)

DC Pride is an annual LGBTQIA+-themed comic book anthology first published by DC Comics in June 2021. The second anthology was published in June 2022, the third was released in May 2023 and the fourth in May 2024. A fifth issue was released on June 4, 2025.

DC Pride was first announced in March 2021 as an 80-page anthology comic focusing on DC Comics' various LGBTQ characters. It was published in June as a celebration of Pride Month. The anthology is also meant to celebrate the LGBT creators working at DC, with the anthology's writers and artists being members of the LGBT community.

As part of their celebration of Pride Month, DC also announced the limited series Crush & Lobo, focusing on the mercenary Lobo and his lesbian daughter Crush; June would also see the release of the graphic novel Poison Ivy: Thorns. DC Pride also marks the first instance of Nia Nal / Dreamer appearing in comics; the story is written by actress and activist Nicole Maines, who originally portrayed the character in the television series Supergirl. Maines described herself as very excited at getting the opportunity to write the character.

A second anthology, DC Pride 2022, was released in June 2022. DC Comics stated that it is a "100+ page Prestige format annual anthology comic".

In 2023, DC Comics published three titles for Pride Month: DC Pride 2023 #1 (released in May), DC Pride: Through the Years #1 (released in June) and The DC Book of Pride (released on May 16). DC Pride 2023 #1 is the annual 100+ page prestige format anthology. DC Pride: Through the Years #1 is a reprint "collection of three older DC comics that featured LGBTQ+ characters". The DC Book of Pride, by Jadzia Axelrod, is a character guidebook on the 50+ LGBTQ+ DC characters.

DC Pride 2024 was released on May 28, 2024.

DC Pride 2025 was announced on March 11, 2025, and was released on June 4. In contrast to previous editions, the issue features one singular story arc of interweaving narratives centered around a century-old LGBTQ+ tavern in Gotham City. Additional variant covers of the issue were also published throughout June and related variant covers will be published in other series throughout the year.

DC also released a trade paperback collecting DC Pride 2024 and other related stories under the title DC Pride: To the Farthest Reaches, and the DC Pride Box Set collecting the first three issues on May 27, 2025. Additionally all previous DC Pride comics were released as webcomics on DC GO!.
