Waluk

In Waluk, a young polar bear embarks on a journey of survival across the melting Arctic, guided by an old, experienced bear named Manitok. Published by Dargaud starting in 2020, this two-issue series is a poignant, beautifully illustrated tale by writer Emilio Ruiz and artist Ana Mirallès, exploring themes of climate change and resilience through a gentle, animal-centric lens. It matters as a contemporary European comic that uses its compact format to deliver a powerful, accessible environmental fable.
