War Bears

In War Bears, Margaret Atwood and Ken Steacy collaborate on a three-issue series from Dark Horse that follows a fictional Canadian comic book artist during World War II, exploring the golden age of comics through a historical lens. Steacy’s detailed art brings to life the era’s pulp aesthetic while Atwood’s narrative examines the intersection of art, war, and national identity. This series matters for its thoughtful, creator-driven take on the real-world origins of the medium, blending a love for vintage comics with a literary sensibility.
