Title Pages and Other Repeatedly Used Illustrations for Pulp Series , 1994–1999

Vampira, Illustration for the reader's page

The so called “Rota-Seite” (named after the rotating printing machines) is the third page of a pulp magazine. In some cases it is illustrated with a fitting drawing to frame the teaser. I drew this kind of repeatedly used illustrations for four different pulp series. Maddrax and Vampira are still (or again) running, but have new title pages, Amerika! and Die UFO-Akten (inspired, obviously, by The X-Files) were abandoned after a year.
 
In 2011 I drew the title page for the series 2012.
