Shako #[nn]

In "The Night of the White Bear!", a lone polar bear cub named Shako survives a brutal act of senseless violence when a crewman kills his mother for sport. Left to fend for himself on the frozen wastes, Shako’s path crosses again with the humans—this time with deadly consequence—before the ice-breaker he’s drawn to collapses beneath the weight of the Arctic. A striking cover by Jock captures the story’s stark, haunting tone, while the tale unfolds with quiet intensity, rooted in survival and the fragile line between predator and prey.
