Claire Wendling

In 1990 began her one and only series Les Lumières de l'Amalou (The lights of Amalou), written by Christophe Gibelin, which won the Press award at Angoulême.

In 1997, she was hired by Warners studio and moved to Los Angeles to participate in various projects including The Quest for Camelot.

Failing to acclimatize, she returned to France eight months later and published Desk, a book of sketches made in Los Angeles.

She has been compared to Régis Loisel, but Wendling is perhaps closer to English-speaking cartoonists such as Jeffrey Catherine Jones or Mike Mignola.

In 2016 she was one of three shortlisted candidates for the Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoulême, one of the world's most prestigious comics awards, along with Alan Moore and eventual winner Hermann Huppen.
