'L'Autobus Vide' (Francs-Jeux).
Loÿs Pétillot started his comics career at the same time as the famous publisher Georges Dargaud. For this publisher, and along with the scriptwriter René-Paul Groffe, he started the series 'Bob et Bobette' (not to be confused with the French-language version of Willy Vandersteen's 'Suske en Wiske'!). From 1945 on, 'Bob et Bobette' appeared in albums and as a periodical. It ran as a text comic, with text printed under the images.
'Radarius', by Loÿs Pétillot.
Pétillot started working with speech balloons in 1949, when he started 'Le Chemin de la Gloire' in Le Journal des Pieds Nickelés. He continued this line of work in Fillette, La Semaine de Suzette, Francs-Jeux and O.K.
Cover illustration for Bernadette (14 November 1952).
In the 1950s, Pétillot joined the Catholic publisher Bonne Presse, where he started drawing the "current affairs cartoon" for Le Pèlerin, as well as the illustrated novel 'Feux sur la Sierra' in Bernadette. At the same time, he created numerous comics for the publisher's other magazine, Bayard.
'Ivan des Valdaï', by Loÿs Pétillot.
Most comics for Bayard were based on religious themes, like 'Vie de Jésus' and 'L'Abbé Pierre', but he also created adventure stories, like 'Le Chevalier Inconnu', 'Bill Jourdin' and 'Ivan des Valdaï' (with Jean Acquaviva). In this magazine, he also started the series 'Pascal et Michèle Montfort' in 1960. When the publication of Bayard was canceled, Pétillot transferred this series to Record.
'Pamcoq'.
Between 1955 and 1957, Pétillot was involved with Pamcoq, an obscure advertising magazine of a clothing brand (Conchon-Quinette) of Clermont-Ferrand (Puy de Dôme - France). For issues #2 till 10, Pétillot illustrated 'Les Aventures de Pamcoq'. Later installments were drawn by Jean-René Le Moing.
In the final years of his life, Pétillot focused mainly on illustrating, which he did under his first name, Loÿs.
