Pinocchio narrates the (mis)adventures of the famous puppet, reimagined and reworked by that mischievous little devil, Winshluss. The storyline follows the same plot as Collodi’s novel, but the narrative is modernized: here, we find a Pinocchio far removed from the good boy created by Walt Disney. With Winshluss, the wooden puppet transforms into an android designed by an engineer craving recognition. Meanwhile, “the talking cricket” (here a cockroach) has a more enviable fate than in the novel, as it’s a homeless man who ends up squatting in the little robot’s skull. Winshluss masterfully twists the codes of popular comic books and cinematic references. He transforms the most worn-out clichés into highly modern narrative forms. But the true strength of the author’s work lies in his graphic treatment. Beyond his very expressive drawing, Winshluss here demonstrates an audacious mastery of silent storytelling. This impressive book proves that Winshluss is one of the most virtuoso and interesting comic book authors of his generation. Pinocchio won the Best Album Award at the 2009 Angoulême International Comics Festival.
