To many of those erotic comic afficionados whose formative years included the 1980s and 90s, ‘Erich von Götha’ will be best known as the master illustrator of classic story lines such as those of Milly Molly (in Men Only), Laura (in Torrid), and Janice (in the series The Troubles of Janice). Von Götha was portrayed (and liked to portray himself) as ‘The Baron’, with monocle, bald pate, cruel mouth, and a knowing twinkle in his eye, and has so often been portrayed in this role that the real artist, a man with singular and very genuine talent, has almost been painted out of the picture.
In fact Erich von Götha (sometimes Erich von Götha de la Rosière or Erich von Götha-Janssen) is the pseudonym of the English artist Robin Ray, born in Wimbledon in south-west London, who after wartime service in the RAF studied drawing and painting at St Martins Art School for four years from 1951. He began his career working for London advertising agencies as a designer, illustrator and copywriter, then worked as a teacher at Ealing School of Art.
His first venture into eroticism came from an introduction to sex therapist Tuppy Owens, who commissioned illustrations for her Sex Maniac’s Diary. Recognising an opening in the market for his realist style of erotic art, further commissions led to his involvement with the first British sex comic magazine, Torrid, which appeared irregularly between 1979 and 1986. Recurring characters included Sylvia Kristel lookalike Roz, swingers couple Jo and David Tracy, and Laura of ‘the Roman life’. The early issues of the magazine were translated into French, appearing in magazines like Yes and BD Adult, initially without Ray’s knowledge.
Von Götha gained fame with The Troubles of Janice (1987–96), a sadomasochistic comic set in the late eighteenth century, during the heyday of the notorious Marquis de Sade. Loosely based on De Sade’s La philosophie dans le boudoir (Philosophy in the Bedroom), the tale follows Duke Viscount Vauxhall of Nether Wallop and his female sex slave Janice. The Janice series was made in close collaboration with the French campaigning writer, historian and collector Bernard Joubert.
The Twenty trilogy (2004–8) was a futuristic version of Janice, who now starred in a science fiction story set in the (then) faraway year of 2018. It follows the sexual adventures of an 18-year old girl, Twenty, at a special college for young girls, whose education will be finished in 2020 – the beginning of a new era of sex according to the author.
Von Götha has also worked as a book illustrator, producing artwork for a previously unpublished manuscript by Pierre Louÿs, Le sentiment de la famille, new illustrations for John Cleland’s Fanny Hill, and Journal de Sartine, set during the reign of French king Louis XV and based on the reports of Antoine de Sartine, Lieutenant General of the Paris police.
In the summer of 2014 the British Library included examples of Torrid in its exhibition ‘Comics Unmasked: Art and Anarchy in the UK’, curated by comic book historian Paul Gravett. Only English cartoons with progressive political significance were included, so it is interesting that von Götha’s work was considered to be within that ambit.
In 2016 the artist’s friend and co-conspirator Bernard Joubert wrote a biography about von Götha, Les carnets secrets d’Erich von Götha, published by Dynamite. The book provides many new facts and insights about the life and work of this deliberately-mysterious artist, and the many colour illustrations show the development of his style during a long and productive lifetime.

Erich von Götha is the most recurring pseudonym of Robin Ray, one of the masters of erotic comics. He uses different paint and illustration techniques to tell his stories, which usually have a strong element of bondage and S&M sex. Several of his tales are also set in a historical past. His best known comics works are 'The Troubles of Janice' (1987-1996) and 'Twenty' (2004-2008), and his illustrations for the erotic novel 'Fanny Hill' by John Cleland. Other pen names he uses are Erich von Götha de la Rosière, Erich von Götha Janssens, Baldur Grimm and Robbins.
Early life and career
Born in Wimbledon, London, in 1924, Robin Ray studied drawing and painting at St. Martins art school for four years. He began his career working for London advertising agencies as a designer, illustrator and copywriter, and then worked as a teacher at Ealing School of Art.
Erotic comics
His first ventures into eroticism were contributions to the 'Sex Maniac's Diary' series (1972-1995) by English sex therapist Tuppy Owens. This resulted in Von Götha's pornographic comic magazine Torrid, which appeared irregularly between 1979 and 1986. The magazine's mascot was a German baron in leather boots, who welcomes his "genital readers" in every issue. Recurring characters are the Sylvia Kristel look-alike Roz and swingers couple Jo and David Tracy, who endulge in orgy stories collected under the title 'Come Together'. Of a more historical but not less explicit nature was 'The Roman Life of Laura'. The early issues of the magazine also featured contributions by the British fetish artist and adult actress Paula Meadows (Lynn Paula Russell).
Von Götha's early works were later reprinted and translated into French, appearing in pornographic magazines like YES and BD Adult, albeit initially without Von Götha's knowledge. Since the English censors are well known for being quite prudent Götha had trouble getting his comics published. Several first saw print in France and Germany before they eventually appeared in an English edition. His works were from then on regularly serialized in Bédé Adult and Bédé X, and published in book format by International Presse Magazine (IPM) in France. His first books were the sci-fi story 'Conte à rebours' (1987) and the album 'Crimes et délits' (1988), both published by YES Company in France. The latter was the tale of a perverted man who tells his lover about the lives of Charles Manson and Rasputin. Von Götha drew the Rasputin section after the original artist Georges Lévis died.

'The Troubles of Janice', volume 1.
The Troubles of Janice
He gained fame with 'The Troubles of Janice' (1987-1996), a sado-masochistic comic set in the late 18th century, during the heydays of the notorious Marquis de Sade. Loosely based on De Sade's 'La Philosophie dans le Boudoir' ('Philosophy in the Bedroom', 1795), the tale follows duke viscount Vauxhall of Nether Wallop and his female sex slave Janice. Apart from extensive sex scenes the work makes an effort to bring the time period to life in its lavishly illustrated artwork. 'The Troubles of Janice' was serialized in Bédé Adult and first published in book format by International Presse Magazine in 1987 as 'Malheurs de Janice'. It was also translated in German as 'Die Leiden der jungen Janice' ('The Suffering of Young Janice'), a humorous nod to Goethe's famous literary novel 'Die Leiden des jungen Werthers' (1774). An English-language version was published by Last Gasp in 1998. A luxury edition of all four was published in 2008 by Dynamite editions.

'The Troubles of Janice', volume 3.
'The Troubles of Janice' is a pleasing mixture between eroticism and horror. Götha was aware of his predecessors and gave characters from other famous sex comics cameos. Readers may be able to recognize John Willie's' 'Sweet Gwendoline', Frank Springer's 'Phoebe Zeit-Geist', Georges Pichard's 'Marie Gabrielle de Saint-Eutrope' and Guido Crepax' version of 'Justine'. The 'Janice' series was made in close collaboration with the French campaigning writer, historian and collector Bernard Joubert.
One-shot erotic comic books
Several one-shot books at International Presse Magazine (IPM) appeared throughout the 1990s. 'A Very Special Prison' ('Prison très spéciale', 1991) introduces a young woman to sadomasochistic prison life. The adventures of the red-haired and curious student Sophie take place in London at St. Hilary's College in 1958, and appeared under the title 'Curiosités Perverses de Sophie' ('The Education of Sophie', 1995). 'The Dream of Cécilia' ('Le Rêve de Cécile', 1995), is about the young and pretty Cécile, who is caught in a boring marriage and tries to find sexual fulfillment in her erotic dreams.
The 'Twenty' trilogy (2004-2008) was a futuristic version of 'Janice', and starred in a science fiction story set in the (then) faraway year of 2018. It follows the sexual adventures of an 18-year old girl, Twenty, at a special college for young girls. Her education will be finished in 2020: the beginning of a new era of sex, according to the author.according to the author. Twenty enjoys her libertarian education in sexual freedom and proves to be a gifted student.
Book illustrations
Von Götha also worked as a book illustrator. He provided artwork for a previously unpublished manuscript called 'Le Sentiment de la Famille' (1996) by Pierre Louÿs (1870-1925), a Belgian-French writer known for his lesbian-themed work. His art also graced a 2003 re-edition of the 18th century British erotic novel 'Fanny Hill or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure' by John Cleland for The Scarlet Library. In 2007 he illustrated 'Journal of Sartine' (Éditions Astarté), set during the reign of French king Louis XIV and based on the life of Antoine de Sartine, who was lieutenant-general of the Parisian police and Minister of War.
Later years
Since the 1980s Von Götha has additionally produced many erotic paintings for friends and fans and has several art books published by Larmes d'Eros in Paris. Many of his prints and commissions combine eroticism with a mythological theme.
Books about Erich von Götha
The artist's old friend Bernard Joubert wrote a biography about the man, which was published under the title 'Les carnets secrets d'Erich von Götha' by Dynamite in 2016. This highly recommended book provides many new facts and insights about the life and work of this, until then, mysterious artist.
