Shako

Set in the icy wastes of the Arctic, Shako is a 2012 one-shot from Rebellion that follows a monstrous polar bear as it wages a brutal, silent war against a team of hunters. Written by comics legends John Wagner and Pat Mills, with striking artwork by Juan Arancio, this single issue delivers a lean, savage survival story that stands as a stark outlier in the publisher's sci-fi-heavy lineup. It matters as a raw, self-contained nature-vengeance thriller from two of British comics' most celebrated creators.
