Ingrid Van Nyman's Pippi Longstocking



Soon Drawn and Quarterly is going to release the original comic book versions of Pippy Longstocking which were written by Astrid Lindgren herself (!) and illustrated by the original illustrator of the Pippi Longstocking books namely, Ingrid Van Nyman. I myself grew up with the Pippi Books illustrated by Walter Scharnweber (the German version I guess) which I am quite fond of. Having said that I am super excited to find the work of Nyman and am already totally in love with her now. Such a fun feel to them, so much imagination in there and I love the colours. It's crazy to think that she ended up tragically taking her own life. What a tragedy. She was so fantastic!

  3. I know this post is rather old, but if you enjoy Ingrid's work, I have some originals and unreleased sketches as well as original comics in my possession. Ingrid is my great aunt, and my grandfather owns the rights to her artwork. Glad to see her getting some love. Cheers!
