Joyous Pride Month!

“Celebrating Queer Voices in Comics All Year Round”

So, what do we have cooking here at Vault this special month? Well, an extraordinary party? A monumental bash? Nay. A vaulted-out parade, perhaps? Think again.

Truth be told, much like a devoted gardener with heroic resistance against a change in fertilizer—despite every seasonal sale—the truth is…we’re not doing anything different. You may ask, “Vault, isn’t it a momentous month of celebration?” Yes, you’re right, or as right as a well-sharpened pencil—never blunt. But then again, we’ve just continued on in our wonderfully stubborn way, pouring our unwavering adoration for our beautifully flamboyant selves, our incredibly talented creators, and our ever-insightful readers into every book we push out into the world.

In our steadfast quest of this labor love, we’ve journeyed through the rich territories of gay history while also wildly cavorting through scandalously enticing sci-fi escapades, courtesy of Steve Orlando and Gio Pota’s ‘Sainted Love’. Supported by an impressive lineup of our favorite queer cover artists, this unforgettable saga pushes boundaries and tickles fancies.

Meanwhile, an unsettling yet riveting horror series called ‘Something Crawled Out’ is clawing its way to the surface, thanks to the creative brilliance of our genderqueer duo Son M. and MadCursed. Discerning readers—those who know how to separate the diamonds from the dirt—will not want to miss this laser precise, ultra-violent mystery!

Furthermore, we delve into the inescapable bonds of mortality, existence, and the enduring power of feminine love in ‘Dying Inside’. This highly-awaited new book hails from the word magic of Pete Wentz, Hannah Klein, and Lisa Sterle.

Oh, and while we’re on the topic of love of the feminine persuasion, just wait until you meet Lilith this fall. Our exiled demoness is bracing herself against the human world and facing what is, perhaps, her most chilling challenge: the endearing girl who works at the bookstore. Send shivers down your spine, doesn’t it?

To cap it off, those well-acquainted with Tim Seeley’s captivating work will shockingly stumble upon every sensual variation within the pages of ‘Money Shot’. If the recent ‘Money Shot: Comes Again’ left you even mildly moved, brace yourself. You’re about to encounter a whole new level of explosive excitement.

But let’s be totally transparent, much like the surface of a freshly-cleaned, smudge free window. Our gay agenda—oh yes, we have one—has only one item. To publish thought-provoking and striking queer creations, all year round. There might not be a rousing essay popping up in your inbox every week, but rest assured, you’ll be able to peruse our catalog at your own pace.

To put it in a nutshell, Vault Comics has always reveled in showcasing the wide spectrum of human experiences that infuse our sci-fi, fantasy, and horror narratives with an irreplaceable flavor.

You, dear reader, are the undeniably essential element that makes us not just good, but great. So, as the banner of Pride flutters high in the sky, we wish you joy, love, and an unquenchable zest for life. From our Vault to yours, here’s to being authentically, unapologetically, us.

– With Pride, from Vault.
