Source Point Press and DreamWorks Animation are teaming up for a new Felix the Cat comic book series slated for a release in 2022.
Felix the Cat is set to star in a new comic book series from Source Point Press and DreamWorks Animation.
Available in stores and online in 2022, Felix the Cat #1 is from writer Mike Federali and artist Tracy Yardley and is the latest initiative from Source Point Press to expand its kids’ line of comics.
“Over the years, I’ve gotten to work with some iconic characters, and Felix the Cat is as iconic as they come!” Yardley said. “Drawing his bold, graphic style and his classic cast of friends has put a feline feather in my comics cap.”
“I’m excited for fans to see the big adventure in store for Felix the Cat, along with his friends and foes, both old and new,” Yardley continued. “It’s been a ton of fun to draw, and I’m sure fans will have just as much fun reading it too.”
“Writing for Felix the Cat is nothing short of a dream come true for me. I can’t wait for fans old and new to see what we’ve been cooking up with the world’s funniest feline,” Federali said. “It has been a blast adding to his hilarious history. Not to mention Tracy is just CRUSHING the artwork! I’ve been in love with his linework for years and he’s been the perfect partner on this creative ride.”
First appearing in the 1919 short film “Feline Follies,” Felix the Cat went on to star in numerous silent films before transitioning to print in over 250 newspapers in 70 different languages. The titular character has garnered various dolls, toys, games, songs and comic books continuing his adventures.
“Source Point Press is excited to expand our kids’ selection with Felix the Cat, one of my all time favorite characters and properties,” said SPP Art Director Josh Werner. “Everyone is working hard to make sure this is the best Felix the Cat comic to date.”
Felix the Cat #1 goes on sale in 2022.
