Ferry 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 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]
