Ray Clark

Burkhard Ihme wrote and drew this German science-fiction series from Buch Musik & Film Verlag, which ran for 19 issues between 1985 and 1991. The strip follows the adventures of its titular hero, Ray Clark, through a futuristic landscape. Ihme’s singular creative vision—handling both story and art—gives the series a cohesive, personal feel that distinguishes it in the European comic market of its era. It stands as a noteworthy example of a creator-driven space opera from the late-80s German publishing scene.
