The creative team behind the series delivers a cover that is as bold, playful, and visually arresting as everything they do. Feral #22 arrives with Cover B — the Weapons Homage Variant by the series’ own Tony Fleecs and Trish Forstner, the artist duo whose distinctive, warmly rendered, and deceptively charming visual style has made Feral one of the most visually beloved and critically acclaimed series in the current Image Comics lineup. A homage cover by the series’ own creative team is a special thing — it brings an insider’s understanding of the characters and world to a cover concept that pays tribute to a classic while making it entirely their own. The Weapons Homage Variant is exactly the kind of cover that rewards both longtime Feral readers and collectors who appreciate when a creative team is clearly having as much fun as their audience.
Whether you’ve been following Feral since the beginning, you’re a Tony Fleecs and Trish Forstner collector who wants every cover they produce, or you’re an Image Comics fan who gravitates toward the most creatively distinctive and homage-driven variants in the lineup, Cover B of Feral #22 is the one to own.
🐈 Fun Fact: Feral — created by Tony Fleecs and Trish Forstner — is a spinoff of their hit series Stray Dogs, which became one of the most talked-about Image Comics debuts in recent memory when it launched in 2021, selling out multiple printings and earning widespread acclaim for its unique approach of wrapping a genuinely disturbing horror story inside the warm, nostalgic visual language of classic Disney and Don Bluth animation — a tonal contrast that made it one of the most unsettling and memorable reading experiences in modern independent comics.
