Life

Dirk Schulz studied visual communication and graduated as a designer in 1992. He became known through the SF comic series Indigo , which he developed together with the author Robert Feldhoff from 1988. From 1990 he regularly created one-page magazine for car magazines. In 1996 Schulz started the satirical fantasy series Chiq & Chloe together with Robert Feldhoff . In 2002 he began working with Jean Wacquet on the series Celtis and with Delia Wüllner, whom he met in 1994, for the fantasy series Parasites . In the same year he received his first orders to design cover pictures for the Perry-Rhodan series, for which he has worked regularly ever since. In 2006 he designed a manga-inspired online project called Fame4U for the Tokyopop publishing house . In the same year, the comic Kiko was created for Spiegel Online , for which Bernd Kronsbein wrote the scenario and Horst Gotta created the drawings together with Schulz. For the new edition of the Mythor series in the paperback at the FanPro publishing house, he draws the cover pictures.

In 2006 Schulz founded the Splitter publishing house together with Delia Wüllner-Schulz and Horst Gotta . The last publisher of that name, for which Schulz had also worked, went bankrupt in 2000. Until then, Schulz had been drawing his comics as a part-time job and was the full-time creative director of an advertising agency he helped found . With the Splitter-Verlag he was now active as a publisher.
