This article examines the major themes of Margaret Atwood's comic book series Angel Catbird. It looks into the specificities of the genre, the role of text and visual design, and explores the notions of metamorphosis, hybridity, environmentalism and animal protection to place the work in its literary and cultural context. Although it is an animal story, where the vast majority of the characters are capable of shapeshifting, the comic series also has a social message, which the article seeks to explore.
