Safere Zeiten & Macho Comics

by Ralf König

Zwei Comics aus den frühen Anfängen, zusammengefasst in einer Neuausgabe: Safere Zeiten von 1988 erzählt davon, wie die Angst vor Aids allmählich das fröhliche schwule Treiben verändert. Macho Comics, noch früher, 1984 entstanden, ist eine Sammlung kleiner Episoden aus der Lederszene, gezeichnet zu einer Zeit, als die Nasen noch klein waren, aber dafür die Kinnpartie der Figuren ungeahnte Ausmaße aufwies.

About the author

Ralf König was born on the 8th of August in Soest, Westphalia, Germany. He went to the secondary school in Werl and then later did an apprenticeship as a cabinet-maker. In 1979 during his coming-out he published his first short comic stories which due to the politically motivated gay-movement were very engaged. The comic-stories appeared in the Munich underground magazine Zomix as well as in the gay periodical Rosa Flieder. He decided to continue his studies and then trained at the National Academy of Art in Düsseldorf from 1981-1986 concentrating on Free Art.
