Vincent Paronnaud, aka Winshluss, is a figure of the French underground comics. His personal touch is provocative, marked with black and quirky humour, and with an uncommon liking for immorality and for appropriation of myths and social stereotypes. With his friends and colleagues Felder and Cizo, he has founded the magazine of comics “Ferraille Illustré”. He published several comics books - among which "Smart Monkey" (2004) and "Wizz et Buzz" (2007) – and directed short and feature films. He co-directed feature film Persepolis with Marjane Satrapi in 2007. He is also a musician.
