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

  

This is original comic art page No. 1 from “La Pyramide oubliée” (The Forgotten Pyramid), published in Circus No. This page does not appear in the original comic book. The final panel has come unstuck, revealing an earlier version underneath that was never published. Both panels need to be glued back onto the page.

The title in the upper left 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,” 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.
