In addition, he drew booklets 202 to 206 of the Sigurd comic series during Wäscher's honeymoon in the 1950s .
From the mid-1950s he worked mainly for the Hanover publishing houses A. Weichert and the Neue Jugendschriften-Verlag , to whose adventure books ( checked books , so called because of a red diamond on the cover) he contributed the text drawings and dust jackets and with the abbreviation wak signed.
