Very Beautiful Original Art Page – The Forgotten Pyramid – Pierre de Winninger – 1978 Drawing

  

This is original artwork for page 1 of the comic “La Pyramide oubliée” (The Forgotten Pyramid), published in issue 5 of Circus. This page does not appear in the original comic book. The final panel has come unstuck, revealing an earlier panel that was never published. Both panels need to be reattached to the page.

The title in the upper left corner is missing, but the name Winninger is visible.

Pierre Wininger, born in 1950, began his career in comics in 1976.

His work appeared in Charlie Hebdo and Circus (“Victor Billetdoux”). In 1979, he created “Le Jardin Sanglant” (The Bloody Garden), written by Henri Filippini, for Pilote. It was later published as an album by Dargaud. He then created “Nicéphore Vaucanson” for Okapi. From 1987 onward, Wininger, who also illustrated children’s books, focused on adapting numerous novels for “Je Bouquine.

” He illustrated adaptations of works by Oscar Wilde, Conan Doyle, Calvino, Carroll, Balzac, Faulkner, Shelley, Stevenson, Saint-Exupéry, Du Maurier, Charlotte Brontë, and others.
