Between 1977 and 1992 Ferry and writer Jean-Luc Vernal created the historical fantasy series 'Ian Kalédine', one of the first comics that mixed science fiction with fantasy and also mythology. In 1993, he began the series 'Les Chroniques de Panchrysia', which ran for five books until 1999. As a scenarist, Ferry has written 'Le Gardien de la Lance' for Ersel and 'Les Chasseurs de Rêves' for Arnaud Leterrier, both published by Glénat.
