It’s an odd idea, but I’m into it: next Thursday, May 7th, Portland, Oregon’s Floating World Comics will be hosting Full of Pryde, an art show featuring different interpretations of Kitty Pryde of the X-Men. Kitty’s been a popular character ever since she was introduced in Uncanny X-Men #129 way back in January 1980 and was played in the film X-Men: The Last Stand by Ellen “Juno” Page.

The folks at Floating World asked “dozens of comic artists, graphic designers, and illustrators” to create their own renditions of Kitty Pryde, which will be made available for sale, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Hemophilia Treatment Center at Oregon Health and Science University.

You can see some examples of various artists’ renderings of Kitty Pryde at the Full of Pryde blog that they’ve set up.
