Slow Bear (US) is many things: a bull in a china shop; a raging lion; a stubborn mule; a fire-breathing dragon; a wise old bird; a drunken skunk; and a murderous hyena. What's more, he's the kind of noir anti-hero who'll have you rooting for him all the way, which is good because, the way things are going, he certainly needs someone on his side. Another stunning creation by Anthony Neil Smith.
