Thanks to a fortuitous Twitter interaction, Atwood happens to be a Bitch Planet reader. DeConnick is an unabashed fan of Atwood’s, and boasts a first-edition copy of Atwood’s landmark novel, The Handmaid’s Tale. To (theoretically) talk about this momentous release, Paste jumped on the phone with Atwood and Kelly Sue DeConnick, the critically acclaimed writer of Bitch Planet, Pretty Deadly and the upcoming Parisian White. Both a slyly goofy anthropomorphic ode to the pulpy series of old and an act of animal advocacy in conjunction with the Canadian charity Keep Cats Safe & Save Bird Lives, Angel Catbird’s first volume introduces readers to Strig Feleedus, a genetic engineer who finds himself mutated into a cat/owl/human hybrid and thrust into a hidden world of feline shape-shifters. Drawn by Johnnie Christmas and colored by Tamra Bonvillain, Angel Catbird presents Atwood’s first foray into sequential storytelling, although she’s been reading comics (and drawing her own) since childhood.
