Very Beautiful Original Plate 1978 Pierre De Winninger The Forgotten Pyramid Drawing

  

This is the original plate number 1 of B. The Forgotten Pyramid, published in Circus issue five.

This plate does not appear in the original comic book. The last panel has been detached and reveals an earlier panel that was never published.

These two panels are to be pasted back onto the page. The title in the upper left is missing, but the name Winninger appears.

Pierre Wininger, born in 1950, began working in comics in 1976. He published in Charlie Hebdo and Circus (“Victor Billetdoux”). In 1979, he created “Le Jardin Sanglant” from a script by Henri Filippini for Pilote, later published as an album by Dargaud.

He then produced “Nicéphore Vaucanson” for Okapi. From 1987 onward, Wininger, who is also a children’s illustrator, devoted himself to adapting numerous novels for Je Bouquine.

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