Virginie Greiner (born 3 September 1969) is a French comic book scriptwriter who lives in Montélimar, and is affiliated with the collective of female comics creators against sexism.

Biography

Virginie Greiner was born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France. She studied law then worked for a time in bookshops and collaborated with BoDoï [fr], a monthly magazine devoted to comics. In 2004, she wrote a short story in the collection Fées, Sorcières et Diablesses. Greiner frequently features heroines "whose merits are often overlooked or understated". A committed feminist, she is part of the collective of female comics creators against sexism and campaigns for gender equality in the world of bande dessinée.

In 2005, joining forces with Annabel [fr], Greiner published her first album with the publisher, Clair de Lune, Willow Place, which was inspired by "the spiritualist writings of Arthur Conan Doyle". The following year, she wrote the texts for a collection of collective illustrations, En mâle de nus, which received a mixed critical reception.

In collaboration with her husband, Frank Giroud, Greiner co-wrote the script for the first volume of the Secrets series (2009), drawn by Marianne Duvivier, Pâques avant les Rameaux. Both are also writers of the second volume of the Destins series (2010), with drawings by Daphné Collignon. The same year, in tandem with Christelle Pécout [fr], Hypathie appeared as the second part of a diptych entitled Sorcières, which relates to the eponymous character.

She took part in Delcourt's "Reines de sang" collection with the script for the diptych on Fredegund, with drawings by Alessia De Vincenzi (2014-16). Greiner resumed collaboration with Collignon to trace the youth of André Malraux and his wife Clara Malraux, based on Mrs. Malraux's autobiography: Nos vingt ans; the work is called Avant l'heure du tigre. The two authors published a biography in 2016: Tamara de Lempicka. After this work, Greiner was the guest of honor at the 28th Causons comic book festival in Cousance. Again in collaboration with Annabel, Greiner created the portrait of Isabelle Eberhardt, published in 2018. In 2019, Greiner wrote the script for Mata Hari, which offers the biography of the famous character, with drawings by Olivier Roman.
