From the Bookshelf of Tyler Public Library…

[close] I don't read a lot of graphic novels, but I will read anything that is written by Margaret Atwood.

Angel Catbird, the eponymous hero, is a chemist who is run over by his boss and breaks a vial of the serum he is carrying while chasing his poor cat who has escaped from his apartment. I can relate easily to having an indoor cat who is an escape artist, but this novel was not my cup of tea. However, I did appreciate Atwood's efforts on educating the public concerning cat/pet welfare. Tips and facts are sprinkled throughout the volume: Neuter your pets and keep them safe from predators and parasites by keeping them inside. Responsible pet owners should spay or neuter their pets. Indoor cats live long & healthy lives and do not endanger songbirds.

I can't tell you how it pains me to say this, but Angel Catbird was a weak and uninteresting story.
