Boris the Bear #13

In "White Delight," Dave brings Boris the Bear to school to meet his instructor, but their journey takes a sharp turn when they cross paths with drug pushers. Written by James Dean Smith and Steve Mattsson, with art, inks, and letters by Smith and John Workman, this 1987 Nicotat Comics issue captures a tense, heartfelt moment as Dave tries to explain the dangers of drugs—through the eyes of a bear who might just understand more than he lets on. The cover, also by Smith, shows the duo at the edge of a city street, caught in the moment before the confrontation.
