Margaret Atwood, an award-winning author, has signed a three-book deal with Dark Horse Comics. She plans to write the story for her first graphic novel which will star a character named Angel Catbird.
The publisher plans to release the first volume in Fall 2016. Johnnie Christmas, an artist, has been brought on to create the illustrations for this project.
Atwood had this statement in the press release: “I have concocted a superhero who is part cat, part bird. Due to some spilled genetic Super-Splicer, our hero got tangled up with both a cat and an owl; hence his fur and feathers, and his identity problems.”
