Biography
editFerry was interested in comics from an early age, stating his first love in comics "was Franquin, Mézières, especially and Moebius". Ferry's interest in superhero comics came after a visit to the offices of Marvel Comics in New York.[1]
In Spain, Ferry worked for Albert Rué's animation studio, as well as publishing work in a number of Spanish comic magazines.[2]
In 1993, Ferry created the character Plasmer with writer Glenn Dakin for an eponymous 4-issue miniseries for Marvel UK.[3]
When Marvel UK closed in 1995, Ferry moved to working for Marvel Comics.[4] After providing fill-in for several issues of X-Men-related comics, he launched the first Heroes for Hire series in 1997 with Roger Stern and John Ostrander, and would provide pencils on 15 of the 19 issues.[5]
In 1999, Ferry provided pencils on all nine issues of a Warlock miniseries, written by Louise Simonson.[4][6][7]
After leaving Marvel, Ferry worked on several DC Comics, including Superboy (1994), Action Comics (2000) and Adam Strange (2004).[8]
In 2005, he and writer Grant Morrison began work on the Seven Soldiers of Victory limited series Mister Miracle, which re-introduced the Shilo Norman version of the character.[9] However, due to scheduling issues, he was only able to do the first issue.[4]
In mid-2006, Ferry became the new artist on Marvel's Ultimate Fantastic Four with writer Mike Carey.[2]
In 2010, Ferry became the regular artist on Marvel's Thor teamed with writer Matt Fraction.[10]
In 2016, Ferry launched a crowdfunding campaign for a creator-owned comic entitled ALICE, inspired by Lewis Caroll’s Alice in Wonderland.[11]
In 2019, Ferry provided the primary cover art for the Image Comics series Chrononauts: Futureshock.[12]
In 2021, Ferry partnered with Chip Zdarsky on a new What If series for Marvel titled Spider-Man: Spider's Shadow.[13]
In March 2023, Ferry launched a new Doctor Strange ongoing series with writer Jed MacKay.[14][15]
