Where it came from
Crypt Rats was originally illustrated by Richard Kane Ferguson for the Magic: The Gathering expansion set Weatherlight, released in 1997. The card features a swarm of undead rodents, reflecting the set's dark, gothic fantasy themes and the mechanical focus on black-aligned creature recursion and graveyard interaction. Ferguson's artwork for the piece is noted for its evocative use of shadow and texture, capturing the decaying, macabre aesthetic that defined much of the game's early visual identity.
The specific version numbered 28 originates from a promotional distribution conducted by Hachette UK. This release was part of a larger effort to introduce the game to a broader audience in the United Kingdom through a partwork magazine series. These editions are distinguished by the publisher's branding on the card frame and were intended to make the complex mechanics of the game accessible to casual players and hobbyists new to the trading card format during that period.
