If you are in the business enterprise of judging graphic novels by their addresses, Angel Catbird is particularly what it seems like: a story about a part-cat, part-chook superhero who appears to be like like an angel. What you almost certainly would not guess about Angel Catbird is that it’s the hottest politically-minded story from famous novelist Margaret Atwood. Sure, the writer of The Handmaid’s Tale is bringing her talents to the entire world of illustrated stories. Drawn by artist Johnnie Xmas, Angel Catbird hits comedian e book stores on Sept. 9 and—in scenario you have to have a tiny additional data on the book’s weird titular hybrid—is about a male whose genes get spliced with those of a feline and an owl and will become a superhero who can “thus see the two sides of the complex cat/chook partnership,” Atwood says, incorporating that the e book is also an effort and hard work to raise consciousness about endangered chook populations.
I was snug with comics as a form—I grew up in that lifestyle, have drawn comics myself, and am a visual thinker. But sadly the Angel Catbird photos I developed were being lumpy and primitive—I wasn’t great at pecs and abdominal muscles, or even suitable wings.Margaret Atwood
“Angel Catbird was traveling close to in my head for decades,” Atwood says. “I was snug with comics as a form—I grew up in that lifestyle, have drawn comics myself, and am a visual thinker. But sadly the Angel Catbird photos I developed were being lumpy and primitive—I wasn’t great at pecs and abdominal muscles, or even suitable wings.”
Thankfully for Atwood, the pecs/abdominal muscles/wings combo is becoming furnished by Sheltered artist Xmas and colorist Tamra Bonvillain (Doom Patrol). “Working with Margaret on her initial graphic novel has been masses of enjoyable,” Xmas says. “The mixing of advocacy with humor is a good way to get across the themes we’re shining a light-weight on in Angel Catbird.
Surprisingly, the trio at the rear of the graphic novel has in no way all been in the exact location at the exact time, but they will last but not least unite subsequent week all through Comic-Con Intercontinental, the place Atwood will be part of a panel on comics storytelling.
“Our relation so significantly has been virtual, but I hope to meet up with them at SDCC before long,” Atwood says. “I’ve been in advance of, but this time maybe I will have moveable cat ears. Or a tail. Or anything.”
Test out a trailer for the new graphic novel over and some pictures from the e book underneath.
