Details: 'The first time I heard about the bear, I was in Gorica. I cut a picture out of the local newspaper. The bear stands upright, his paws hanging down like arms. He looks me straight in the eyes.' Based on THE media event of 2006, the hunt for the immigrant brown bear Bruno, Stefano Ricci tells a fable about our society, mixing the landscape of the Apennines with that of his adopted home of Vorpommern. He blends autobiographical, fictional, and tragic family history into a literary whole that sets new standards in comics. Anita was the very first Avant-Verlag title in 2001, and we are delighted that the Italian comic artist Stefano Ricci is now returning with The Story of the Bear – his most ambitious and personal work to date. With painterly, visually powerful pages, Ricci explores the ambivalence of his characters and, in doing so, also breaks new stylistic ground. 'One is carried away by this magnificent race against death. Man is definitely a wolf to animals.' Les étoiles dBD 'The Story of the Bear is a rare and precious book' France3
