☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Memories of the Morphing Period" delivers a tense, character-driven moment in a world where difference is met with fear. Two leopard-people, dedicated to helping others, face a sudden threat from a human who sees them only as monsters—only to be outwitted by their calm deception. Written by Richard Thatcher and illustrated by Shawntae Howard, with inks by Adrian Kleinbergen and letters by the same, the story unfolds with quiet intensity. The cover, by Mary Hanson-Roberts, captures the moment’s eerie stillness.
In "Memories of the Morphing Period," a grandfather reflects on the bewildering time when a mysterious illness began turning people across the world into humanoid animals—his own sons among them—leaving behind a legacy of change, confusion, and quiet resilience. The story captures a poignant, personal look at a global shift through the eyes of one family, rendered with warmth and gentle humor.
In "There Ain't No Such Thing as a Free Lunch!" from Shanda Fantasy Arts Spotlight #4, two leopard-people on a charitable food run find themselves cornered by a surprisingly hostile human—only to turn the tables with a clever prank that leaves him fleeing in terror. The story blends quick-witted humor and unexpected tension in a world where the line between kindness and chaos is as thin as a lunchtime snack.
In "Riding the Range," two law enforcement officers who’ve been transformed into animal-human hybrids stumble upon the grim remains of a violent clash between their kind and humans. With only three children left alive, they must decide whether to uphold the law or protect the innocent—no matter the cost.
