The old man tells him his youth before the war on the eastern coast of the United States, the loss of his pet bear killed by Don Pomodoro local mafia godfather, he will still cowardice one of the lieutenants. It will fall by luck lovers own granddaughter dirty mafioso ... later will not be a walkover.
Skin De L'Ours is a superb graphic and screenwriting success (unlike the 3 Fruits - Volume 1-3 Fruits (Les) - One-shot from the same tandem rather missed). It's violent, bloody and cruel as mafia stories, but also funny, poetic and deliciously amoral.
The powerful and edgy graphics are superb, borrowing the nose and colors to "Demoiselles D'Avignon" by Picasso. The characters have amazing appetizers, hot landscapes of Italy contrasted wonderfully with urban hardness of the East Coast of the USA.
