The Dark Octopussycat Returns

Octopussycat, as a kitten, showed some psychokinetic powers and was taken by the government to be groomed as an assassin. Later, through the help of one of the scientists working on the project, she escaped. After exacting her revenge on those who created her, she became a vigilante in the streets of Zoopolis. This led to a series of run ins with World Wildlife Federation of Justice members such as Go-Rilla and Shaolin Monkey. Eventually they convinced her to join the team.

Powers: limited telekinesis and fear projection. Camouflage cloak. Ninja-oriented skills and octopus-related gadgets.

New WWFJ Story Written by Futurama Author Ian Boothby

Thanks to Toren Atkinson’s ongoing Birthday Fundraising Project, multiple Shuster Award nominee and Eisner Award–winning comic book creator Ian Boothby, best known for his work as one of the main writers on Simpsons Comics and Futurama Comics, has completed the final draft for the next installment of World Wildlife Federation of Justice comics.

Without giving too much away, the tale features multiple heroes and villains who must join forces to fight a new threat unlike any they’ve ever faced! It’s a nine page story to be illustrated by Toren Atkinson and, if all goes to plan, a very special guest artist.

Stay tuned to this space for further details!

World Wildlife Federation of Justice: Mach Turtle

Partially inspired by Cecil Turtle of Warner Bros cartoon fame, Mach Turtle not only is fast, but he flies…like a jet! His jet stuff pops out of compartments in his shell, of course.

This is the first draft. I’m actually not great at drawing the mechanical techno-military stuff so I’m hoping to make him cooler looking in the next iteration.
